Nonaqueous microemulsion-containing ionic liquid [bmim][PF6] as polar microenvironment

Supramolecular Structures in the Presence of Ionic Liquids

“…These techniques proved the swollen of reversed micelle with the addition of IL, which indicated the formation of reversed microemulsion. More detailed information was gained through FTIR (Gao et al, 2006b), 1 H NMR (Gao et al, 2006b;Gao et al, 2008b), UV-vis spectroscopy (Gao et al, 2006b;Gao et al, 2008b;Gao et al, 2005b;Li et al, 2007b) and conductivity measurements (Gao et al, 2006b;Gao et al, 2008b;Li et al, 2005a). Sarkar and his coworkers (Adhikari et al, 2007;Chakrabarty et al, 2005;Seth et al, 2006Seth et al, , 2007aSeth et al, 2007b) initiated the work of applying steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy to investigate IL based microemulsions.…”

Hydrophilic Ionic Liquids as Ingredients of Gel-Based Dermal Formulations

“…However, only a few studies have been published regarding the use of ILs in pharmaceutical or cosmetic applications so far. ILs were used mostly in microemulsions (14) as oil substitutes, water substitutes, additives, or surfactants (15)(16)(17). Multiple emulsions containing ILs as a hydrophobic phase have also been reported (18).…”

Evaporation from an ionic liquid emulsion

“…They have, hence, been engaged in colloidal systems acting both as hydrocarbons [12,13] and as liquids of sufficiently high polarity to serve as the polar continuous part of a microemulsion [14][15][16][17][18]. The structures in the latter liquids have recently been systematically investigated by Zheng and his group [19] using a combination of phase diagram determination, dynamic light scattering and molecular spectroscopy to elucidate the structures involved in a non-aqueous microemulsion of this kind.…”
