Data from: Amphiphile micelle structures in protic ionic liquid ethyl ammonium nitrate and water

Attached file provides supplementary data for linked article.

Micelles formed by amphiphiles in a protic ionic liquid (PIL), ethylammonium nitrate (EAN), were investigated using synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering and contrasted with those that formed in water. The amphiphiles studied were cationic hexadecyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC) and hexadecylpyridinium bromide (HDPB) and nonionic poly(oxyethylene) (10) oleyl ether (Brij 97) and Pluronic ethylene oxide-propylene oxide-ethylene oxide block copolymer (P123). The scattering patterns were analyzed using spherical, core-shell, and cylindrical scattering models. The apparent micelle shape and size of the surfactants and the block copolymer in the PIL have been reported. At low amphiphile concentrations (10 wt %) in EAN and water, there was a preference for cylindrical micelles for CTAC, HDPB, and Brij 97; however, the P123 micelles remained spherical.
