Abstract: Aggregation of ionic liquid surfactants in aqueous solution is an entropy driven process,according to the data of its ΔG0,ΔH0 and ΔS0.Aggregation number of ionic liquid surfactants is similar to that of traditional surfactants,40-160 in general.The apparent hydrodynamic diameter (Dh) of surfactant aggregation is several nanometers;but in case the concentration of the ionic liquid surfactant is high as forming vesicles,Dh may achieve 100 nm.Ionization degree of counter ions at the surface of surfactant micelles is about 0.15-0.6.Aggregation behavior of ionic liquid surfactants in water is similar to that of traditional surfactant,but the aggregation behavior of ionic liquid surfactants in water is different with that in organic solvents.

Key words: surfactant, ionic liquid, micelle, thermodynamics, aggregation behavior
