Effect of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride on the lyotropic liquid crystal structure and properties of TX-100/oleic acid/water system

Liquid crystal behavior, photoluminescence and gas sensing: A new series of ionic liquid crystal imidazole and benzoimidazole bearing chalcone groups, synthesis and characterization

“…It has been shown that imidazolium and benzimidazolium salts are important in the eld of ionic liquids (IL) and ionic liquid crystals (ILCs). [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] A large number of these types containing imidazolium and benzimidazolium units have hitherto been synthesized and their application has been studied in liquid crystals, 8 sensing, 9,10 anticancer and other applications. [11][12][13][14][15][16][17] Among an enormous variety of ionic mesogens studied so far, majority is derived from imidazolium cations.…”

Formation and Characterization of Zein-Based Oleogels

“…Phase diagrams are used to depict the phase behavior of binary or ternary systems, including those containing amphiphiles. − Phase transformations between structures can occur as functions of composition or temperature. While amphiphiles can dissolve in polar solvents, the nonpolar part will shield itself and arrange into micelles or bilayers and allow only their hydrophilic side to be in contact with the solvent.…”
