Carbon dioxide is the most produced greenhouse gas in the world, and 
therefore accounts for major part of the climate change. Today reducing its 
emission is on the agenda of many world countries and as such significant 
research has been done on capturing it from flue gases in chemical and 
electricity production. Although amines have been regarded as one of the

absorbent, their high vapor pressure, corrosivity 
and high energy requirement for regeneration have rendered them impractical 
on industrial scale. (Mahsa Aghaie, 2018) 
Novel ionic liquids have recently attracted great bit of attention in many 
fields, but especially in carbon capture due to their unique properties, such 
as negligible vapor pressure, high thermal stability and being in liquid state 
over a wide temperature range. Although they show great potential as 
standalone solvents for carbon dioxide capture, their relatively high viscosity 
limits the absorption rate. (Mahsa Aghaie, 2018) 
To counterract this issue many methods were nominated and 
tested on laboratory scale, including the creation of “dry ionic liquids” 
that are microdroplets formed by enclosion of IL in hydrophobic silica 
(Mayuko Ishihara, 2016). Polymeric Ionic Liquids (PIL) on the other 
hand are made by polymerizaion of IL monomers and combine the 
properties of polymers and ILs: polymer provides structural rigidity, 
while IL facilitates CO
2
absorption (Sandra C. Rodrigues, 2018). In this 
study, polymerization of imidazolinium based monomer will be carried 
out along with respective testing of it in capturing of carbon dioxide.
