Lamellar Liquid Crystalline Materials Modulated by 1-Ethyl-3-Methylimidazolium Hexafluorophosphate

Article Preview

Abstract:

Liquid crystal was formed in a ternary system of tetraethylene glycol lauryl ether, water and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate. Its structure was identified by polarized optical microscopy and small-angle X-ray scattering techniques. Compared to that in the binary system, lamellar phase was retained with the addition of a small amount of imidazolium salt. Molecules of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate were considered to be solubilized in the polar domain of the ordered assemblies. Results on their influence on the lamellar phase enlighten the use of imidazolium salts to modulate liquid crystalline materials and other assemblies.
