a Swelling capacity and storage moduli G’ of MOC@PILs 1–6 and the parent PIL-NO3–. Error ranges were calculated from triplicate experiments. b Storage and loss moduli, G’ and G”, of the swollen PIL-NO3– and MOC@PILs 2, 4, and 6 as a function of angular frequency ω. c Photographs of PIL-NO3– and MOC@PILs 1–6 before and after swelling. d–g Cryo-SEM images of swollen PIL-NO3– and MOC@PILs 2, 4 and 6 after freeze-drying showing the microstructures.
