Formation of Reverse Micelles in a Room‐Temperature Ionic Liquid

Influence of chemical architecture of oils and ionic liquid on the physicochemical and thermodynamic properties and microenvironment of anionic surfactant based microemulsion

“…However, a very few using these kind of surfactants in absence and presence of a cosurfactant/co-solvent/additive have been reported in literature [21][22][23][24]. In view of these reports, we contemplate to undertake a study, which underlines the influence of an imidazolium based IL [hydrophilic, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (bmimCl)] and polar lipophilic oils [R-(+)-limonene (herein, LIM) or isobutyl benzene (herein, IBB)] on the formation and characterization of anionic surfactant, SDS derived w/o microemulsion.…”

Micelle formation of polyoxyethylene-type nonionic surfactants in bmimBF4 studied by 1H NMR and dynamic light-scattering

“…In addition, the aggregates formed from amphiphilic compounds would be able to solubilize substances essentially insoluble in ionic liquids, which must widen the application fields of ionic liquids. From these points of view, the micelle formation of surfactants in ionic liquids has been currently studied by many research groups [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. The most frequently used ionic liquids in this field are imidazolium salts with various anion species.…”

Ionic Liquid-Assisted Hydrothermal Synthesis of Rare Earth Luminescence Materials

“…Recently, imidazoliumbased ILs had been explored and used as solvents of the inner phase, or continuous outer phase, or surfactants in the formation of microemulsion systems [29][30][31][32][33]. Research was also conducted to study the behavior of ILs in microemulsion systems [34][35][36]. As an example, the aggregation of some imidazolium-based ILs in aqueous solutions was observed, indicating the similarity to surfactants [37,38].…”

“…TBP was a well-known neutral organophosphorus extractant and had been extensively used in industrial extraction of RE ions for about half a century [41]. When extracting RE ions in a HNO 3 medium, RE(NO 3 ) 3 · 3TBP was formed as the extracted species [34]. Meanwhile, TBP was also a perfect solvent and capping agent in the synthesis of II-VI semiconductors [42,43].…”
