Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) have received increased attention from both academic and industrial research communities all over the world due to their unusual properties and immense application potential in various fields of science and technology. During the past decade, ionic-liquid-based systems have become the subject of considerable interest as a promising media for extraction and purification of several macro-/biomolecules. ILs are attractive designer solvents with tunable physicochemical properties. Using IL-based systems as alternative solvents for forming surfactant self-assemblies has several advantages. For example, the properties of surfactant self-assemblies in these media can be easily modulated by tuning the structure of ILs; ILs can dissolve a large variety of organic and inorganic substances and their properties are designable to satisfy the requirements of various applications. This may enhance the application potential of both ILs and surfactants in many important fields. Consequently, the study on surfactant self-assemblies within IL-based aqueous systems has attracted considerable attention in recent years. This chapter overviews the investigation carried out on the formation of surfactant self-assemblies within IL-based aqueous systems and their applications in various fields.
