N-methyl-N-hexadecylpyrrolidinium bromide (IL) was synthesized for the design of ionic liquid crystals which is a fascinating class of molecular materials, offering the combination of order and mobility. In binary mixtures with water, lyotropic liquid crystalline phase appears in the range of IL content from 35% to 70% and the temperature range from -1.1 to 24 °C in the heating run. The SAXS curves explored the self-assembly processes and hexagonal phase of the IL apparent sol. The saturated aliphatic ionic liquid in water assemble less tightly compared with aromatic ionic liquid based on imidazolium in water, which is due to the absence of aromatic package effect.

AbstractAlthough a great deal of unique nanostructures were already obtained from polymer self-assemblies in terms of conventional parameters, the self-assembly under the confinement is still not well understood. Here, dissipative particle dynamics simulations were used to explore the self-assemble behaviors of linear ABC triblock copolymers under rigid spherical confinements. First several unusual morphologies, such as multilayer onion, coupled helix, and stacked lamella, were distinguished from the total 210 simulations. Second, the influences of three important parameters (block sequence, wall selectivity, and spherical radius) on the morphologies were discussed in detail. Finally, the dynamics evolution of several typical aggregates was examined. This simulation enriches micelle morphologies for the self-assembly of linear ABC triblock copolymers under rigid spherical confinements and is helpful to understand the formation of valuable nanostructures from linear ABC terpolymers.
