Morphological transformations in Triton X-100 micelles modulated by imidazolium and pyridinium type Ionic Liquids: Investigations by scattering techniques

摘要

Graphical abstractDisplay OmittedHighlights?Increase in alkyl chain length of the cation elevates the phase separation temperature of TX-100 solution.?Phase transition of TX-100 solution can be governed by the non-amphiphilic and amphiphilic nature of ILs.?Morphology of TX-100 micelles changed according to the penetration and localization of ILs.?Mixed micelles aggregation number, size and shape is modulated based on nature of interacting cation and anion.AbstractThe phase behaviour and aggregation characteristics of aqueous solution of Triton X-100 in the presence of several 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazol
