Faraday Discussion 154: Ionic Liquids

22 - 24 August 2011, Belfast, United Kingdom


Introduction
Room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) are currently the focus of an intense research effort because of their remarkable potential for applications coupled to favourable environmental properties. On a more fundamental level, RTILs constitute an important class of highly correlated Coulomb fluids whose molecular constituents are complex ions with tunable shape and size. The hybrid organic- ionic nature of RTILs and the resulting interplay between different intermolecular forces give rise to a complex phenomenology whose decoding requires the close integration of experimental, theoretical and computational methods. 
This meeting will discuss fundamental experimental and theoretical aspects of the physical chemistry of RTILs.

Aims
  • RTILs constitute a new and exciting playground for interdisciplinary research in soft condensed matter. 
  • The main aims of the meeting are: 
  • To bring together experts in complex fluids, ionic systems and soft condensed matter sharing a common interest in charged fluids. 
  • To examine the state of the art of experimental and theoretical developments regarding thermodynamics, interfacial behaviour, microscopic structure and molecular dynamics of ionic liquids.
  • To highlight emerging problems, identify new research directions and maximize the dissemination of information.  
  • To promote the interest of young scientists and students allowing a forum for them to interact with experts in ionic and molecular soft condensed matter.  
     
Themes
  • Thermodynamics and phase behaviour of ionic fluids
  • Microscopic and mesoscopic structure: experiments and simulations
  • Transport and relaxation in ionic liquids 
  • Chemical reactivity and interfacial behaviour
