Reihe: ACS Symposium Series

Ionic Liquids (ILs) are now a world-wide phenomenon and have emerged from being viewed only as novel replacements for Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) traditionally used as industrial solvents, into designer materials with incredible untapped potential in a wide variety of fundamental scientific and technological areas. The current series of ACS symposia dedicated to ionic liquids and the resulting books are intended to change the way people think about ionic
liquids and introduce the international audience to the many new possible applications for ionic liquids. The presentations and chapters will delve more deeply into the fundamental nature of ionic liquids responsible for their fascinating behavior.

Über Autor(innen)

Prof. Joan F. Brennecke obtained her B.S. in Chemical Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin (1984) and both her M.S. (1987) and Ph.D. (1989) in Chemical Engineering at The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She is currently a Keating-Crawford Professor at Notre Dame and Director of the Notre Dame Energy Center. Brennecke's research is primarily focused on experimental aspects of thermodynamics and separations, with particular interest in
supercritical fluids and ionic liquids.

Dr. Robin D. Rogers obtained both his B.S. in Chemistry (1978, Summa Cum Laude) and his Ph.D. in Chemistry (1982) at The University of Alabama and is currently a Professor of Chemistry and Director of the Center for Green Manufacturing at UA. Rogers holds three patents and has published over 500 papers on a diverse array of topics including structural chemistry, green separation science and technology, room temperature ionic liquids, and aqueous biphasic separations.

Prof. Kenneth R. Seddon obtained both his BSc (1970, First Class) and his PhD (1973) in Chemistry at the University of Liverpool, and his MA at Oxford University (1974). He currently holds the Chair of Inorganic Chemistry, and is Director of the QUILL Centre, at The Queen's University of Belfast. He is inventor on over 20 patents, has published over 220 papers, co-authored four books, and co-edited four books (including this one). Research interests include ionic liquids, green chemistry,
crystal engineering, coordination chemistry, conservation of ancient Chinese documents, and chemical weapons.
