Graphical abstract
Nanolatexes derived from an imidazolium ionic liquid monomer are excellent dispersants for aggregated WC nanopowders. Multiple WC nanoparticles as small as 2 nm are stabilized on and within these nanolatexes.
Research highlights
▶ First stable waterborne WC dispersions. ▶ Smallest dispersed and stabilized WC nanoparticles reported. ▶ Optical absorption of dispersed WC nanoparticles competitive with carbon in carbon nanotubes.
