Abstract
mimBr concentrations. The structure and properties of aggregates were determined using small angle X-ray scattering, polarized optical microscopy, rheology and differential scanning calorimetry. The anion effects of AILs on the phase behaviours and structure and properties of aggregates were analysed and discussed. The lamellar lyotropic liquid crystals have shown good conductivity, as confirmed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy characterization. Our results enhance the understanding of the structure effect of ILs as self-assembly media and contribute to the design of tailorable solvents.
