Poisonous mercury in thermometers has been replaced by harmless and better performing ionic liquids in research by scientists from Europe and the US, published in the Royal Society of Chemistry ...

To make its thermometers the US team used normally colourless ionic liquids coloured red with an IL-dye. This made the liquid level easily visible without affecting the linear relationship between ...

University of Alabama researchers believe they have developed an environmentally friendly alternative to thermometers that use mercury or alcohol. The new thermometer uses an ionic liquid to ...

The thermometer is part of the center's push to find uses for ionic liquids, a class of liquid salts known for their stability, that could work as replacements for solvents used by some industries.

Poisonous mercury in thermometers has been replaced by harmless and better performing ionic liquids. Poisonous mercury in thermometers has been replaced by harmless and better performing ionic liquids ...

Diagnostics: Thermometer can be stretched and crumpled by water Date: February 10, 2020 ... When making an ionic conductor, it is critical to have a solution process at room temperature.

The research team used this ionic conductor to realize an actuator thermally stable up to 100°C and a flexible thermal sensor applicable to a body for the first time.

A pair of chemists at Michigan State University has observed the piezoelectric effect in liquids for the first time. In their paper published in The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters, Md ...

Ionic liquids have a low contact angle with PDMS ... Fig. 4c, the change in conductance of our sensor quickly follows the change in temperature of the oven measured via a thermometer.
