- Abstract:
- Poly(2-nonyl-2-oxazoline-block-2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) block copolymer
micelles were investigated as an alternative system to
the approach proposed by He and Lodge (Y. He and T. P.
Lodge, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2006, 128, 12666) for the thermoreversible
transfer of micelles between a hydrophobic ionic liquid
phase and an aqueous phase; this work describes the possibility
of thermally triggering and controlling this process.
