Many of the ionic liquids are good glass formers. Nevertheless, only a few studies of the glass transition in ionic liquids are available so far. Particularly the frequency dependence of the dynamic glass transition (alpha-relaxation) is not known for most ionic liquids. The standard technique for such studies - dielectric spectroscopy - is not easily applicable to ionic liquids because of the high electrical conductivity. The aim of this study is to use different calorimetric techniques to obtain complex heat capacity and to investigate the dynamic glass transition of room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) in a wide frequency range. This can give an insight in cooperative motions of ions and ion clusters in RTILs. The techniques that were used are DSC, TMDSC, and AC-chip calorimeter covering a total range of 0.001-10000 Hz. The trace of the dynamic glass transition in the activation diagram for RTILs was fitted to the Vogel-Fulcher-Tammann-Hesse function and the parameters compared for different RTILs.
