On the physico-chemical basis of self-nanosegregation giving magnetically-induced birefringence in dibutyl phosphate/bis(2-ethylhexyl) amine systems

Enhanced Li+ Transport in Ionic Liquid‐Based Electrolytes Aided by Fluorinated Ethers for Highly Efficient Lithium Metal Batteries with Improved Rate Capability

“…More interesting is the behavior of the pre-peak. This feature is usually not observed for isotropic liquids, that is, BTFE, with the exception of some strongly amphiphilic molecular liquids [40,41] and some ILs. [42,43] This peak is due to supramolecular interactions with specific characteristic lengths in the order of a few nanometers.…”

Synthesis, Characterization and Mechanical Properties of Novel Bio-Based Polyurethane Foams Using Cellulose-Derived Polyol for Chain Extension and Cellulose Citrate as a Thickener Additive

“…These findings could be attributable to the interaction forces between the cellulose citrate and the polyurethane chains. Apart from their mutual chemical affinity, this hypothesis could be reinforced by the results of some studies which pointed out that, in cases of blending of differently sized molecules, a spontaneous structuring takes place, driven by the fact that smaller molecules tend to be more likely to occupy the voids made by bigger ones, with a compression of volume and, overall, a more compact structure [ 61 , 62 ].…”

On the nanoscopic structural heterogeneity of liquid n-alkyl carboxylic acids

“…Nevertheless, the pre-peak has been reported in markedly amphiphilic systems such as n-alcohols, [27][28][29][30] and n-aldehydes, 31,32 and also in more complex systems like ionic liquids, [33][34][35][36] deep eutectic solvents, 37 and pseudo-ionic liquids. [38][39][40] The trend of the pre-peak position as a function of the alkyl tail length is shown in Fig. 3, together with two tentative fitting lines.…”
