| abstract |
The invention relates to a method for the fabrication of structures from an ion gel. In particular, the invention relates to a method, wherein the structures are fabricated by way of ink jet printing technology, which comprises the following steps ofn mixing at least one monomer with at least one ionic liquid to a printable liquid; generating the structure by printing the printable liquid using ink jet printing technique; and forming the polymer by means of polymerization, polyaddition or polycondensation of the structure;n nwherein common solvents are omitted.n nn Further, the invention relates to a structure comprising at least one layer of at least one ion gel, wherein the ion gel consists of a liquid which is initially printable by means of inkjet printing technique, the liquid comprising at least one ionic liquid as well as monomers which are solidified to a gel by means of polymerization because of subsequent energy exposition, and wherein the at least one ionic liquid is embedded physically and/or chemically into the ion gel, characterized in that the structure which can be formed directly onto a substrate consists of entirely homogenous ion gel layers, is at any time free of common solvents, of temperature-change induced distortion, of temperature-change induced shrinkage and/or swelling. |
