Abstract
Recent developments and changes during the last decade are outlined for Czech industry as a whole, with the focus on the chemical industry and Research and Development in the Czech Republic. Using this background, potential applications of ionic liquids in Czech chemical industry are proposed. Identified are also Research and Development centres that are interested in joining in potential Research and Development projects, focused on ionic liquids and their use in specific areas of chemistry, such as (a) speciality and fine chemicals syntheses (e.g. biphasic catalysis, Diels-Alder reactions, hydrogenation, Friedel-Crafts reactions, and phosgene reactions), (b) polymer processing (e.g. olefin dimerisation, oligomerisation, and polymerisation), (c) linear alkylbenzene synthesis, and (d) nuclear fuel processing.
