Self-aggregation and antimicrobial activity of imidazolium and pyridinium based ionic liquids in aqueous solution
Anna Cornellas,Lourdes Pérez,Francesc Comelles,Isabel Ribosa,Angeles Manresa,M. Teresa Garcia +5 more
TL;DR: Their efficiency as antimicrobial agents increased with the hydrophobicity of the amphiphilic cation being the C(14) homologous the most active compounds.

Aggregation Behavior and Antimicrobial Activity of Ester-Functionalized Imidazolium- and Pyridinium-Based Ionic Liquids in Aqueous Solution
TL;DR: As compared to simple alkyl chain containing ILs bearing the same hydrocarbon chain, ester-functionalized ILs possess higher adsorption efficiency and significantly lower critical micelle concentration (cmc) and surface tension at the cmc (γ(cmc), indicating that the incorporation of an ester group promotes adsorptive at the air/water interface and micelle formation.
Self-assembly and antimicrobial activity of long-chain amide-functionalized ionic liquids in aqueous solution
TL;DR: The introduction of an amide group in the hydrophobic chain close to the polar head enhances adsorption at the air/water interface and micellization which could be attributed to the H-bonding in the headgroup region.
Chemical Modifications on Human Hair Studied by Means of Contact Angle Determination
TL;DR: The superficial modification undergone by human hair treatments with or without hydrogen peroxide at alkaline pH was studied by means of wetting force measurements and information on the surface energy of a solid was obtained by calculating polar and dispersion force contributions by Means of contact angle determination.

Micellization and Antimicrobial Properties of Surface-Active Ionic Liquids Containing Cleavable Carbonate Linkages
TL;DR: It has been demonstrated that the functionalization of the alkyl side chain of the imidazolium salts can not only modify the aggregation behavior but also lead to differences in both efficiency and the spectrum of antimicrobial activity of amphiphilic ILs.
