Abstract
The micellization behavior of synthesized surface-active ionic liquid (SAIL), 1-hexyl-3-methyl imidazolium bromide ([C6mim][Br]) was studied in aqueous mixtures of deep eutectic solvents (DESs). The micellization of [C6mim][Br] in aqueous solutions of polyethylene glycol:citric acid (PEG:CA) and ethylene glycol:citric acid (EG:CA) DESs were evaluated using conductivity measurements, Ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) spectroscopy, and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The temperature dependence of the critical micelle concentration (CMC) was evaluated using conductivity measurements at 298.15 K, 308.15 K, and 318.15 K, with aqueous DES concentrations of 0.2 M, 0.3 M, and 0.4 M. The double derivative method was applied for CMC determination, revealing anomalous behavior in the variation of CMC with DES concentration. UV–Vis and FTIR spectroscopic techniques evaluated the molecular interactions occurring in the aqueous mixture.
期刊介绍:
The journal includes papers in the following areas:
– Simple organic liquids and mixtures
– Ionic liquids
– Surfactant solutions (including micelles and vesicles) and liquid interfaces
– Colloidal solutions and nanoparticles
– Thermotropic and lyotropic liquid crystals
– Ferrofluids
– Water, aqueous solutions and other hydrogen-bonded liquids
– Lubricants, polymer solutions and melts
– Molten metals and salts
– Phase transitions and critical phenomena in liquids and confined fluids
– Self assembly in complex liquids.– Biomolecules in solution
The emphasis is on the molecular (or microscopic) understanding of particular liquids or liquid systems, especially concerning structure, dynamics and intermolecular forces. The experimental techniques used may include:
– Conventional spectroscopy (mid-IR and far-IR, Raman, NMR, etc.)
– Non-linear optics and time resolved spectroscopy (psec, fsec, asec, ISRS, etc.)
– Light scattering (Rayleigh, Brillouin, PCS, etc.)
– Dielectric relaxation
– X-ray and neutron scattering and diffraction.
Experimental studies, computer simulations (MD or MC) and analytical theory will be considered for publication; papers just reporting experimental results that do not contribute to the understanding of the fundamentals of molecular and ionic liquids will not be accepted. Only papers of a non-routine nature and advancing the field will be considered for publication.
