Claim:
1. A composition comprising a curable imidazolium-functionalized poly(room temperature ionic liquid) (poly(RTIL)) copolymer, the copolymer comprising a plurality of imidazolium-functionalized monomeric units, wherein (100λ(1−p))% of the monomeric units comprise a side-chain imidazolium group substituted with a curable group, (100×p) % of the monomeric units comprise a side-chain imidazolium group substituted with a non-curable group, and 0<p<1, the copolymer having formula (I), wherein: A is H, alkyl or substituted alkyl; n ranges from 2 to 100,000; W is the side chain selected from the group consisting of: wherein in (II): R is C R each occurrence of Y is independently selected from the group consisting of H, alkyl, benzyl, phenyl, hydroxyl, nitro, halo, —(CH X in (100×(1−p)) % of the monomeric units, Z is the curable group selected from the group comprising vinyl, 1,3-butadienyl, (1,3-butadienyl)-(C in (100×p) % of the monomeric units, Z is the non-curable group selected from the group consisting of H, alkyl, benzyl, phenyl, and oligo(ethylene glycol).
