In recent years, stimuli-responsive poly(ionic liquids) (PILs) have attracted great attention. The stimuli-dependent properties, particularly the electrical properties, of multiresponsive PILs incorporating functionalized nanoparticles, however, have been less investigated. In this work, we present the synthesis, characterization, and application of PIL films incorporating pH- and thermoresponsive hybrid materials composed of gold nanoparticles functionalized with poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) (Au@PDMAEMA). The Au@PDMAEMA nanoparticles exhibit distinct responsiveness to changes in environmental pH and temperature, thereby altering the electrical properties of the PIL films blended with responsive gold nanoparticles (PIL w/Au). This research not only fills a gap in the study of electrical properties of multiresponsive nanoparticle-incorporated PILs but also extends the potential applications of PILs in various fields, including smart sensors and electronic devices.
