Abstract

In order to gain insight into the role of environmentally benign imidazolium based ionic liquids (ILs) to alter the physicochemical properties of single chain cationic surfactants, we have investigated the effect of 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([C6mim][Br]) and 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([C8mim][Br]) on the aggregation behavior of aqueous tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide (TTAB). The critical micelle concentration (CMC) of TTAB at different concentrations of ILs was determined through conductance, surface tension, spectral change of a dye by UV–Vis measurement, and the pyrene fluorescence probe measurement techniques at 298.15 K. Decreasing of the CMC of aqueous TTAB with increasing ILs concentration proves the micellization is favorable. The effect of ILs on the properties of TTAB was verified by using NaBr. Surface tension measurements complimented by dynamic light scattering (DLS) data revealed the packing density of TTAB aggregates at different concentrations of ILs. The effective area of TTAB molecules at the air/water interface was calculated by the Gibbs adsorption isotherm and found to decrease up to 0.6 wt% of ILs followed by an increase at higher concentration. DLS data revealed an increase in micellar size of TTAB at higher concentration of IL with decrease in the aggregation number (N agg), determined by the fluorescence quenching method.
