Self-aggregation of ionic liquid-cationic surfactant mixed micelles in water and in diethylene glycol–water mixtures: Conductometric, tensiometric, and spectroscopic studies

Interaction of imidazolium based surface-active ionic liquid (SAIL), 1-decyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride [C10mim][Cl], with cationic surfactant cetrimide (CET) has been studied by using conductometric, tensiometric, and spectroscopic methods in pure water and in presence of diethylene glycol (DEG)–water binary mixtures. Addition of DEG has marked effect on the thermodynamic and aggregation behavior of these studied systems. From conductometric...
