Solvent free epoxy systems are disclosed that can include a hardener compound H comprising: a molecular structure (R—(Y)n), wherein Ris an ionic moiety, Yis a nucleophilic group, n is a between 2 and 10; and an ionic moiety A acting as a counter ion to R; and an epoxy compound E comprising: a molecular structure (R—Z)n), wherein Ris an ionic moiety, Zcomprises an epoxide group, n is a between 2 and 10, and an ionic moiety B acting as a counter ion to R. In embodiments, the epoxy compound E and/or the hardener H is comprised in a solvent-less ionic liquid. The systems can further include accelerators, crosslinkers, plasticizers, inhibitors, ionic hydrophobic and/or super-hydrophobic compounds, ionic hydrophilic compounds, ionic transitional hydrophobic/hydrophilic compounds, biological active compounds, and/or plasticizer compounds. Polymers made from the disclosed epoxy systems and their methods of use are described.
