3D photoprinting of a self-assembled ionic liquid (IL) monomer based liquid-crystalline mesophase introduces high-resolution nanoscale features (2–5 nm) into otherwise low-resolution (microscale features) polymer builds. A wide variety of geometric builds possessing internal hexagonal perforated lamellar (HPL) nanostructure containing ~2.4 nm diameter pores are fabricated by the digital light processing 3D printing of an aqueous mixture (61(w/w%)) of an ionic liquid monomer, 1-decyl-3-vinylimidazolium chloride, a co-monomer, polyethylene diacrylate (PEGDA, M_n 575), and a visible light photo-initiator (eosin Y and triethanolamine). Vibrational spectroscopy and thermal analysis proves acrylate moiety polymerization occurs during printing but incomplete consumption of the IL vinyl groups. Post-printing exposure to UV light (λ 350 nm) completes vinyl polymerization serving to further improve nanostructure ordering as determined by SAXS. Solvent swelling (ethanol) induces a structural transformation to a body center cubic architecture accompanied by slight pore expansion (to 3.2 nm). The introduction of nanoscale features into low-resolution photo-printed polymers establishes a low-cost strategy for the additive manufacturing of multi-scale, structured nanoporous polymer membranes.
