The micellization characteristics, interactions, and influencing factors of nonionic surfactants and two anionic surface active ionic liquids were investigated, revealing a good synergistic effect in SAIL/TX-100 mixtures with stronger attractive interactions in [Etbim][C12H25SO4].
The micellization characteristics of nonionic surfactant (Triton TX-100, p-octyl polyethylene glycol phenyl ether) and two anionic surface active ionic liquids (SAILs) were investigated by surface tension measurements, steady state fluorescence tests, dynamic light scattering (DLS), H-Nuclear magnetic resonance, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The anionic SAILs were 1-ethoxycarbonyl-3-methylimidazolium dodecyl sulfate ([Etmim][C12H25SO4]) and 1-ethoxycarbonyl-3-butylimidazolium dodecyl sulfate ([Etbim][C12H25SO4]). CMCmix values of SAIL/TX-100 mixtures were between CMC values of individual surfactants, and decreased with the increase of the molar fraction of TX-100. The negative beta values (interaction parameter) of SAIL/TX-100 mixtures indicated good synergistic effect amid SAIL/TX100 mixtures. [Etbim][C12H25SO4] showed stronger attractive interactions than [Etmim][C12H25SO4] during SAIL/TX-100 micellization. The mixed micelles contained a larger molar fraction of TX-100 over the entire range of composition. At same molar fraction of TX-100, X-1 values of [Etbim][C12H25SO4]/TX-100 mixtures were lower than those of [Etmim][C12H25SO4]/TX-100 mixtures. With addition of SAIL, the particle sizes of SAIL/TX-100 micelles decreased. With the increase of SAIL concentrations, the particle sizes of SAIL/TX-100 micelles decreased. In presence of SAILs ([Etmim][C12H25SO4] or [Etbim][C12H25SO4]), all protons of TX-100 moved downfield. The chemical shifts of protons in [Etmim][C12H25SO4] or [Etbim][C12H25SO4] slightly moved upfield. DFT simulations demonstrated the presence of hydrogen bonds between the imidazolium cation of SAILs and EO chain of TX-100, and between sulfate anion group(-SO4-) of SAILs and hydrogen atoms in TX-100. The information will shed light on the rapid screening of novel anionic SAIL/surfactant mixtures for practical applications. (c) 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
