Study on the Thermal Stability of Selected Ionic Liquids

Abstract:

Some results of tests of the thermal stability (and volatility) of selected ionic liquids pondered as lubricating substances in comparison with typical lubricating, mineral and synthetic oils, are presented in the article. The research was carried out within the framework of PBR/15–249/2007/WAT–OR00002904 Research Project Financed by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, during 2007–2011 [1]. The obtained results confirmed high thermal resistance of ionic liquids. It makes it possible to use the liquids as high temperature lubricating substances. At the same time, it has been stated that the thermal resistance of ionic liquids depends on the composition and chemical structure of anion and cation.
