Versatile ionic liquid gels formed by dynamic covalent bonding and microphase separated structures

. These properties mean that the DI-PR gels are particularly suitable for use as anticorrosion coatings for submarine and underground gas and oil pipelines. The use of rutin, which combines rigid quercetin-based structural units with flexible glycoside-based structural units, as a cross-linking agent, provides a new method for improving the toughness of soft materials through its synergistic interaction with hard and soft chain fragments of polyurethanes.
