Surface tension and micellization

Without doubt, a complete picture of fhe surface fension of pure ILs and their solution and the parameters that govern the mechanism of adsorption connected with ILs would be incredibly useful in fhe study and improvement of industrially relevant catalysis and surface reaction processes. This information will be necessary for chemical engineering of larger scale reactions. Surface tension can reveal some fundamental features of a liquid, but few studies of this property have been reported [12]. A single compilation of surface tension values, including eight variously substituted imidazo-lium liquids, has shown [33] that the values of surface tension range from 

The surface tension of ILs are lower than that for water (72.7 mNm at 

Less viscous [TfjN] containing salts have higher densities and lower surface tension than their [Pp5] containing analogs.
