Lyotropic liquid crystalline phases formed in ternary mixtures of 1-cetyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide/p-xylene/water: A SAXS, POM, and rheology study

Ionic liquid crystalline phases in 3-hexadecylimidazolium bromide and binary mixtures with 1-decanol

“…If the IL content reaches 40-70%, new scattering sharp peaks appear. The values of the scattering vector q corresponding to the scattering peaks of the sample with 60% IL obey 1:2:3 relationship, which is known to be characteristic of lamellar periodicity, indicating that these four samples are lamellar phase [20][21][22]. It can be seen that the first-order scattering peak shifts to lower q values (1.54, 1.52, 1.50 and 1.45 nm À1 ) with increasing the IL content from 40% to 70%, the layer spacing (d) is calculated to be 4.08, 4.13, 4.19 and 4.33 nm, respectively.…”

Lyotropic liquid crystalline phases with a series of N-alkyl-N-methylpiperidinium bromides and water

“…The micellization behavior of a series of 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium halides C n mimX (X: Cl, Br, I) in water [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] and other solvents [29][30][31] were intensively explored through a variety of methods. LLCs formed by such surface active molecules in single solvent [32][33][34][35][36] or combining with alcohol [37,38] and p-xylene [39,40] are also investigated. Besides, vesicles assembled from a series of pyrrolidinium salts in aqueous solution have also been reported [41].…”

Liquid crystalline phases of 1,2-dimethyl-3-hexadecylimidazolium bromide and binary mixtures with water

“…Firestone et al studied the organization of IL molecules and suggested the existence of a long-range structure [9]. Zhang et al explored lyotropic liquid crystals formed by 1-cetyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide/p-xylene/water [10]. Trilla et al exploited phase behavior based on bis-and trisimidazolium salts bearing hydrophobic hexadecyl chains and a bridging mesitylene moiety [11].…”
