Deep Eutectic Solevents and Eutectogels

We investigate neoteric deep eutectic solvents (DES)! They are eutectic mixtures for which the eutectic point temperature is lower than that of an ideal liquid mixture. These novel solvents share many features of the classical ionic liquids, such as good ionic conductivity, low vapor pressure, and high thermal stability, but they benefit from a low cost, greener character, and easier preparation. The immobilization of these solvents into polymer matrices affords new soft ionic materials called "Eutectogels".
