| Summary: | The aim of this review is to provide an exposition of some of the most recent applications of deep-eutectic solvents (DESs) in the synthesis of polymers and related materials. We consider that there is plenty of room for the development of fundamental research in the field of DESs because their compositional flexibility makes the number of DESs susceptible of preparation unlimited and so do the range of properties that DESs can attain. Ultimately, these properties can be transferred into the resulting materials in terms of both tailored morphologies and compositions. Thus, interesting applications can be easily envisaged, especially in those fields in which the preparation of high-tech products
via
low cost processes is critical. We hope that the preliminary work surveyed in this review will encourage scientists to explore the promising perspectives offered by DESs.
Synthetic processes based on the use of deep-eutectic solvents are useful to prepare a range of materials with tailored morphologies and compositions. |

| Bibliography: | María C. Gutiérrez obtained her PhD in Organic Chemistry at the University of Granada in 2001. From 2001 to 2003, she worked as a postdoctoral fellow with Prof. Furstoss in Biocatalysis and Fine Chemistry at the Université de la Méditerranée (France), and participated in European projects from IV and V Framework Programmes. In 2004, she joined the Group of Bioinspired Materials at the ICMM-CSIC in Spain and became a tenured scientist in 2009. Her research interest is the development of new routes for preparation of hierarchical and multifunctional materials for applications in biotechnology and biomedicine. Daniel Carriazo obtained his PhD from the University of Salamanca in 2008 on the synthesis of layered double hydroxides and porous oxides for catalytic applications. In 2009 he joined the Group of Bioinspired Materials at the Institute of Materials Science of Madrid (ICMM-CSIC) where he is currently working. During 2011 he spent eight months working in the group headed by Prof. Niederberger at the ETH-Zürich on the synthesis of nano-materials by non-aqueous routes. His present scientific interest is focused on the synthesis of carbonaceous materials with hierarchical porosity for energy storage and environmental applications. María C. Serrano received her PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid in 2006 (Spain). After a postdoctoral training period in Biomedical Engineering in the laboratory of Professor Ameer at Northwestern University (Illinois, USA) (2008-2010), she is now a postdoctoral fellow Juan de la Cierva in the Bioinspired Materials Group leaded by Professor del Monte at the Instituto de Ciencia de Materiales de Madrid (ICMM-CSIC). Her research interests are focused on biomaterials for cardiovascular, bone and neural tissue regeneration. Francisco del Monte is a scientist at the Instituto de Ciencia de Materiales de Madrid (ICMM-CSIC) in Spain. He received a BSc degree in organic chemistry in 1991, a MSc degree in polymer science in 1992, and a PhD in chemistry in 1996. He then spent two years as a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Los Angeles, California. Since 2004, he has been leading the Group of Bioinspired Materials at the ICMM-CSIC. His current scientific interest is the use of biomimetic chemistry and deep eutectic solvents for the preparation of hierarchically organized materials. María Luisa Ferrer is a tenured scientist at the Instituto de Ciencia de Materiales de Madrid (ICMM-CSIC). After a MSc degree in polymer science (1992), she completed her PhD in chemistry at the University Autonoma of Madrid (1995). She was a postdoctoral fellow over the next three years, first at the University of Patras (Greece) and, after that, at UCLA (USA). After that, she got a teaching appointment at the UMH (Spain). She joined the ICMM-CSIC in 2000 to work on the preparation of hierarchical materials with applications in both energy and biomaterials.
