Condensation polymerization or step-growth polymerization has been a standard approach to creating ionenes and many different types of commercially important thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers. We extend these studies in polymerized ionic liquids (PIL) to show that molecular design can be used to mimic functional PIL produced previously by chain radical polymerization and controlled radical polymerization. We illustrate fabrication of bulk gels and coatings that undergo anion exchange and solvent induced stimuli-responsiveness, thermodynamically stable and self-dispersing particles extending to very small sizes (&lt; 20 nm), and dispersing aids that transform the osmotic brush concept into a commercially viable formulation tool.
