Ionic liquid microemulsions and their technological applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ionic liquids are receiving much attention as environmentally benign media for reactions, separations, and multidisciplinary chemistry, due to their unique physicochemical properties which include non-volatility, high stability, high ionic conductivity, wide electrochemical window and easy recyclability. We summarize herein microemulsion formulations and applications where ionic liquids are used as oil substitutes, water substitutes, co-surfactants (additives) and surfactants.

Ionic liquids (ILs), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (bmimBF4), were substituted for polar water and formed nonaqueous microemulsions with toluene by the aid of nonionic surfactant TX-100. The phase behavior of the ternary system was investigated, and microregions of bmimBF4-in-toluene (IL/O), bicontinuous, and toluene-in-bmimBF4 (O/IL) were identified by traditional electrical co...
