New biobased-zwitterionic ionic liquids: efficiency and biocompatibility for the development of sustainable biorefinery processes

Abstract

A combination of experiments and modeling reveals the influence of alkyl chain lengths in biobased ZILs on the biocompatibility towards various microorganisms.

Martini coarse-grained models of imidazolium-based ionic liquids: from nanostructural organization to liquid–liquid extraction

“…Currently, only three classes of ILs models were developed for Martini 2.2, with the studies focused on pure IL, aqueous biphasic mixtures 35,36 and interactions with membranes. 37 Recently a number of limitations of the current version 2.2 of the Martini model have been reviewed, 31,38 which paved the way for developing a new version, Martini 3.0.…”

The Martini Model in Materials Science

“…[ 35,83,113,278–283 ] Recently, interest in surfactants has renewed as ionic liquids (ILs) have attracted much attention for their use as biocompatible and green solvents and co‐solvents. This has led several authors to use Martini to simulate the self‐assembly of IL mesophases, [ 284,285 ] the process of IL‐mediated extractions, [ 285,286 ] as well as to guide the design of de novo molecules. [ 286 ]…”

Application of Ionic Liquids for Chemical Demulsification: A Review

“…Fatty acid ionic liquids were used successfully in various industries for different purposes, such as pharmaceutical [ 136 ], biorefining processes [ 137 ], solvents and co-solvents [ 138 , 139 , 140 ], dissolution and levulination of cellulose [ 141 ], formation of aqueous biphasic systems [ 142 ], CO 2 capture [ 143 , 144 ], catalyst [ 145 ], lubricant additives [ 146 ], plant protection products [ 147 ], and extraction agents [ 148 ]. Therefore, the demulsification potential of bio-based ionic liquids, as well as their human health effects, are worthy of further investigations in future.…”
