英文摘要 | A series of imidazolium-based surface-active ionic liquids (IM-SAILs), viz., single-chained IM-SAILs, 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([C(n)mim]Br, n = 12, 14, 16), 1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium salicylate ([C(12)mim]Sal), 1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoate ([C(12)mim]HNC), 1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium cinnamate ([C(12)mim]CA), 1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium para-hydroxy-cinnamate ([C(12)mim]PCA), gemini IM-SAIL, and 1,2-bis(3-dodecylimidazolium-1-yl)ethane bromide ([C-12-2-C(12)im]Br-2), along with three short-chained ionic liquids (ILs) [ethylammonium nitrate (EAN), propylammonium nitrate (PAN), and butylammonium nitrate (BAN)] were synthesized and applied to nematic liquid crystal (LC)/fluid interfaces. First, we evaluated the influence of the length and number of aliphatic chains as well as the counterion in the IM-SAIL structures on the anchoring of LCs at the aqueous/LC interface. It was observed that the threshold concentration of [C(n)mim]Br (n = 12, 14, 16) decreased with the increase in aliphatic chain length. And double-chained [C-12-2-C(12)im]Br-2 has a far lower threshold concentration than single-chained [C(12)mim]Br. But the alteration of counterions (e.g., Br- and aromatic counterions) scarcely affected the anchoring of LCs at the interface. Second, we investigated the alignment of LCs at the diverse IL/LC interfaces in the presence of IM-SAILS. It is found that the variations in both aliphatic chain length and number can remarkably change the trigger points of the orientational transition of LCs at the EAN/LC interface. Specifically, with a slight increase in the alkyl chain length of short-chained ILs, as the fluid medium, the orientation of LCs varied tremendously at the IL/LC interface. Therefore, the higher threshold concentration of IM-SAILS and the corresponding greater stability in the optical appearance of LCs at the EAN/LC interface compared to that of the aqueous/LC interface can be ascribed to the discrepancy in the microstructure of water and IL. Finally, we verified that the volume ratio of H2O to EAN could more dramatically affect the alignment of LCs than the change in IM-SAIL concentration in aqueous solution. This work first illustrated the impact of SAIL structure on the LCs orientation at the aqueous/LC, IL/LC, and H2O-IL mixture/LC interfaces, which will inspire us to obtain a stabilized molecular alignment of LCs at the IL/LC interfaces and to further design novel functionalized SAIL molecules for various chemical and biological applications. |
