Ionic Liquids II: Properties and Applications
Research in ionic liquids (ILs) has exploded in recent years because of their great promise in a broad range of applications in chemistry and chemical technology for process and safety improvement and reduction in overall environmental impact. This three-session symposium features the broad spectrum of ionic liquids research conducted in the Middle Atlantic Region.
