Abstract
CONTEXT Choline-based surfactants are interesting both from the practical point of view to obtaining environmental-friendly surfactants as well as from the theoretical side since the interactions between the choline and surfactants can help to understand self-assembly phenomena in deep eutectic solvents. Although no significant change was noticed in the micelle size and shape due to the exchange of the sodium counter-ion by choline in our simulations, the adsorption of the choline cation over the micelle surface is stronger than the adsorption of the sodium, which leads to a reduction of the exposed surface area of the micelle and remarkable effects over the electrostatic potential. The choline neutralizes the surface charge of the surfactant better than sodium; however, this is partially compensated by a stronger water orientation around the SDS micelle. The balance between the contributions from the surfactant, the counter-ion, and water to the electrostatic potential leads to a complex pattern with alternate regions of positive and negative potential at the micelle/water interface which can be important to the incorporation of other charged species at the micelle surface as well as for the interaction between micelles in solution. METHODS To evaluate the effects of the counter-ion substitution, micelles of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and choline dodecyl sulfate (ChDS) were studied and compared by means of molecular dynamics simulations in aqueous solution. In both cases, the simulations started from pre-assembled micelles with 60 dodecyl sulfate ions and 240-ns simulations were performed at NPT ensemble at T = 323.15 K and P = 1 bar using the Gromacs software with the OPLS-AA force field to describe dodecyl sulfate and choline, Åqvist parameters for sodium, and SPC model for water molecules.

Abstract
Pure and hydrated deep eutectic solvents (DES) are proposed to form self-assembled nanostructures within the fluid bulk, similar to the bicontinuous L3 phase common for ionic liquids (ILs). Labelled choline chloride : urea : water DES were measured using small-angle neutron scattering (SANS), showing no long-range nanostructure. However, solutions of the surfactant AOT in this DES yielded scattering consistent with the L3 "sponge" phase, which was fitted using the Teubner-Strey model. A disclike model gave local structural information, namely, a linear increase in radius versus solvent water content (w = molar ratio of DES : water), eventually forming large, turbid lamellar phases at 10w; an L3-to-Lα transition was observed. Simultaneous multi-contrast SANS fits show the surfactant headgroup region is dominated by interactions with poorly-soluble Na+ at low water contents, and numerically-superior [cholinium]+ as water content increases. The modified interfacial Gaussian curvature from cation : anion volume matching stabilizes the lamellar morphology, allowing the bilayer aggregation number to increase.

Abstract
Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) show promise in pharmaceutical applications, most prominently as excellent solubilizers. Yet, because DES are complex multi-component mixtures, it is challenging to dissect the contribution of each component to solvation. Moreover, deviations from the eutectic concentration lead to phase separation of the DES, making it impractical to vary the ratios of components to potentially improve solvation. Water addition alleviates this limitation as it significantly decreases the melting temperature and stabilizes the DES single-phase region. Here, we follow the solubility of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) in DES formed by the eutectic 2:1 mole ratio of urea and choline chloride (CC). Upon water addition to DES, we find that at almost all hydration levels, the highest β-CD solubility is achieved at DES compositions that are shifted from the 2:1 ratio. At higher urea to CC ratios, due to the limited solubility of urea, the optimum composition allowing the highest β-CD solubility is reached at the DES solubility limit. For mixtures with higher CC concentration, the composition allowing optimal solvation varies with hydration. For example, β-CD solubility at 40 wt% water is enhanced by a factor of 1.5 for a 1:2 urea to CC mole ratio compared with the 2:1 eutectic ratio. We further develop a methodology allowing us to link the preferential accumulation of urea and CC in the vicinity of β-CD to its increased solubility. The methodology we present here allows a dissection of solute interactions with DES components that is crucial for rationally developing improved drug and excipient formulations.

Abstract
The preservation of labile biomolecules presents a major challenge in chemistry, and deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have emerged as suitable environments for this purpose. However, how the hydration of DESs impacts the behavior of proteins is often neglected. Here, we demonstrate that the amino acid environment and secondary structure of two proteins (bovine serum albumin and lysozyme) and an antibody (immunoglobulin G) in 1:2 choline chloride:glycerol and 1:2 choline chloride:urea follow a re-entrant behavior with solvent hydration. A dome-shaped transition is observed with a folded or partially folded structure at very low (<10 wt % H2O) and high (>40 wt % H2O) DES hydration, while protein unfolding increases between those regimes. Hydration also affects protein conformation and stability, as demonstrated for bovine serum albumin in hydrated 1:2 choline chloride:glycerol. In the neat DES, bovine serum albumin remains partially folded and unexpectedly undergoes unfolding and oligomerization at low water content. At intermediate hydration, the protein begins to refold and gradually retrieves the native monomer-dimer equilibrium. However, ca. 36 wt % H2O is required to recover the native folding fully. The half-denaturation temperature of the protein increases with decreasing hydration, but even the dilute DESs significantly enhance the thermal stability of bovine serum albumin. Also, protein unfolding can be reversed by rehydrating the sample to the high hydration regime, also recovering protein function. This correlation provides a new perspective to understanding protein behavior in hydrated DESs, where quantifying the DES hydration becomes imperative to identifying the folding and stability of proteins.

Abstract
![]()
A combination of
statistical and triblock copolymer properties
is explored to produce stable aqueous polymer dispersions suitable
for the film formation. In order to perform an extensive structural
characterization of the products in the dissolved, dispersed, and
solid states, a wide range of symmetrical poly(acrylic acid-stat-styrene)x-block-poly(butyl acrylate)y-block-poly(acrylic acid-stat-styrene)x, poly(AA-st-St)x-b-PBAy-b-poly(AA-st-St)x, (x = 56, 108 and 140, y = 100–750;
the AA:St molar ratio is 42:58) triblock copolymers were synthesized
by reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT)
solution polymerization using a bifunctional symmetrical RAFT agent.
It is demonstrated that the amphiphilic statistical outer blocks can
provide sufficient stabilization to largely hydrophobic particles
in aqueous dispersions. Such a molecular design provides an advantage
over copolymers composed only of homoblocks, as a simple variation
of the statistical block component ratio provides an efficient way
to control the hydrophilicity of the stabilizer block, which ultimately
affects the copolymer morphology in solutions and solid films. It
was found by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) that the copolymers
behaved as dissolved chains in methylethylketone (MEK) but self-assembled
in water into stable and well-defined spherical particles that increased
in size with the length of the hydrophobic PBA block. These particles
possessed an additional particulate surface structure formed by the
statistical copolymer stabilizer block, which self-folded through
the hydrophobic interactions between the styrene units. SAXS and atomic
force microscopy showed that the copolymer films cast from the MEK
solutions formed structures predicted by self-consistent field theory
for symmetrical triblock copolymers, while the aqueous dispersions
formed structural morphologies similar to a close-packed spheres,
as would be expected for copolymer particles trapped kinetically due
to the restricted movement of the blocks in the initial aqueous dispersion.
A strong correlation between the structural morphology and mechanical
properties of the films was observed. It was found that the properties
of the solvent cast films were highly dependent on the ratios of the
hard [poly(AA-st-St)] and soft (PBA) blocks, while
the aqueous cast films did not show such a dependence. The continuous
phase of hard blocks, always formed in the case of the aqueous cast
films, produced films with a higher elastic modulus and a lower extension-to-break
in a comparison with the solvent-cast films.

Abstract
Solvent is regarded as a factor in tuning the supramolecular chirality of self-assemblies. Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) show diverse properties in contrast to other common solvents, which are emerging in fabricating functional aggregates and nanoarchitectures. Nevertheless, the emergence and manipulation of supramolecular chirality in DES still remain mysterious. Exploring supramolecular chirality in DES would produce tunable chiroptical materials considering their feasible preparation process and abundant hydrogen bonding sites. In this work, we explored the occurrence and manipulation of supramolecular chirality in DES. Transfer from inherent chiral DES to solutes in either aggregated or monomeric building units is blocked. However, the chiral assembly of π-conjugated amino acids was realized. Compared to aqueous media, self-assembly in DES hinders the spontaneous structural and chirality evolution that benefit from efficient solvation, where the π-conjugated amino acids were involved as hydrogen bonding donors. DES performs as a dye-friendly matrix to afford chiroptical eutectogels with tunable circularly polarized luminescence, whereby a large dissymmetry g-factor of up to 0.015 was realized. DES behaves as feasible and flexible solvents to fabricate and stabilize functional soft chiral self-assemblies with controllable chiroptical properties.

Abstract
The changes upon methanol (MeOH) addition in the structural arrangement of the highly eco-friendly deep eutectic solvent (DES) formed by choline chloride (ChCl) and sesamol in 1:3 molar ratio have been studied by means of attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering (SWAXS), and molecular dynamics simulations. The introduction of MeOH into the DES promotes the increase of the number of Cl-MeOH hydrogen bonds (HBs) through the replacement of sesamol and choline molecules from the chloride anion coordination sphere. This effect does not promote the sesamol-sesamol, choline-choline, and sesamol-choline interactions, which remain as negligible as in the pure DES. Differently, the displaced sesamol and choline molecules are solvated by MeOH, which also forms HBs with other MeOH molecules, so that the system arranges itself to keep the overall amount of HBs maximized. SWAXS measurements show that this mechanism is predominant up to MeOH/DES molar ratios of 20-24, while after this ratio value, the scattering profile is progressively diluted in the cosolvent background and decreases toward the signal of pure MeOH. The ability of MeOH to interplay with all of the DES components produces mixtures with neither segregation of the components at nanoscale lengths nor macroscopic phase separation even for high MeOH contents. These findings have important implications for application purposes since the understanding of the pseudophase aggregates formed by a DES with a dispersing cosolvent can help in addressing an efficient extraction procedure.

Abstract
While the traditional consensus dictates that high ion concentrations lead to negligible long-range electrostatic interactions, we demonstrate that electrostatic correlations prevail in deep eutectic solvents where intrinsic ion concentrations often surpass 2.5 M. Here we present an investigation of intermicellar interactions in 1:2 choline chloride:glycerol and 1:2 choline bromide:glycerol using small-angle neutron scattering. Our results show that long-range electrostatic repulsions between charged colloidal particles occur in these solvents. Interestingly, micelle morphology and electrostatic interactions are modulated by specific counterion condensation at the micelle interface despite the exceedingly high concentration of the native halide from the solvent. This modulation follows the trends described by the Hofmeister series for specific ion effects. The results are rationalized in terms of predominant ion-ion correlations, which explain the reduction in the effective ionic strength of the continuum and the observed specific ion effects.

Abstract
Understanding and manipulating micelle morphology are key to exploiting surfactants in various applications. Recent studies have shown surfactant self-assembly in a variety of Deep Eutectic Solvents (DESs) where both the nature of surfactants and the interaction of the surfactant molecule with the solvent components influence the size, shape, and morphology of the micelles formed. So far, micelle formation has only been reported in type III DESs, consisting solely of organic species. In this work, we have explored the self-assembly of cationic surfactant dodecyl trimethylammonium nitrate/bromide (C12TANO3/C12TAB), anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), and non-ionic surfactants hexaethylene glycol monododecyl ether (C12EO6) and octaethylene glycol monohexadecyl ether (C16EO8) in a type IV DES comprising metal salt, cerium (III) nitrate hexahydrate, and a hydrogen bond donor, urea, in the molar ratio 1:3.5. C12TANO3, C12TAB, C12EO6, and C16EO8 form spherical micelles in the DES with the micelle size dependent on both the surfactant alkyl chain length and the head group, whereas SDS forms cylindrical micelles. We hypothesize that the difference in the micelle shape can be explained by counterion stabilization of the SDS headgroup by polycations in the DES compared to the nitrate/bromide anion interaction in the case of cationic surfactants or molecular interaction of the urea and the salting out effect of (CeNO3)3 in the DES on the alkyl chains/polyethoxy headgroup for non-ionic surfactants. These studies deepen our understanding of amphiphile self-assembly in this novel, ionic, and hydrogen-bonding solvent, raising the opportunity to use these structures as liquid crystalline templates to generate porosity in metal oxides (ceria) that can be synthesized using these DESs.

Abstract
As tailorable solvents, the physiochemical properties of ionic liquids can be tuned by the structure of ions. Herein, we investigate the structural effects of ILs on the self-assembly of surfactants. It has been confirmed that the cationic surfactant 1-hexadecyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide (C16mimBr) can self-assemble into micellar and lamellar lyotropic liquid crystal phases in the aprotic ionic liquid (AIL) 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([Emim]BF4). In this work, we explore the aggregation behaviours in AILs with different alkyl chains on the imidazolium group, i.e., 1-propyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([Pmim]BF4), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([Bmim]BF4), 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([Hmim]BF4) and 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([Omim]BF4). With the increase of the cation chain length, AILs have better solubility of the solvophobic part of the surfactants and hence a weaker driving force for self-assembly. Therefore, the critical micellization concentration of C16mimBr in AILs increases as confirmed by the surface tension and small angle X-ray scattering characterizations. More interesting things happen to the phase behaviours. Besides the micellar and lamellar lyotropic liquid crystal phases, a hexagonal lyotropic liquid crystal phase is formed in [Pmim]BF4 while hexagonal and bicontinuous cubic lyotropic liquid crystal phases are formed in [Bmim]BF4, [Hmim]BF4 and [Omim]BF4. It is surprising to observe richer phase behaviours in solvents of lower cohesive energy. The detailed structural information of various aggregates has been obtained by small-angle X-ray scattering. It is demonstrated that AILs work as not only solvents but also co-surfactants.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS The self-assembly of ionic surfactants in deep eutectic solvents has recently been demonstrated, opening up new possibilities in terms of the development of formulated products and templating of nanostructured materials. As it occurs in an aqueous environment, the solvophobic effect drives the formation of micelles in these solvents and specific-ion interactions alter the resulting structures. We hypothesized that the presence of hydrotropic salts would greatly affect the micellar structure in deep eutectic solvents, ultimately leading to the formation of worm-like aggregates. EXPERIMENTS A systematic investigation performed on hydrotrope-surfactant assemblies in neat and hydrated 1:2 choline chloride:glycerol is presented. The effect of choline salicylate on the micellization of hexadecyltrimethylammonium chloride at different hydrotrope-to-surfactant ratios was probed by contrast variation small-angle neutron scattering. FINDINGS Here the first investigation on salt-induced micellar growth in deep eutectic solvents is presented. The microscopic characterization of the system shows that the micelle-hydrotrope interaction in pure and hydrated deep eutectic solvents results in a significant increase in micelle elongation. The condensation of the hydrotrope on the micelle, which alters the effective monomer packing, leads to the formation of worm-like micelles with tunable morphology and flexibility. The results presented here present new possibilities in terms of self-assembly and co-assembly in neoteric solvents, where micelle morphology can be controlled through surfactant-salt interactions.

Abstract
Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are an emerging class of mixtures characterized by significant depressions in melting points compared to those of the neat constituent components. These materials are promising for applications as inexpensive "designer" solvents exhibiting a host of tunable physicochemical properties. A detailed review of the current literature reveals the lack of predictive understanding of the microscopic mechanisms that govern the structure-property relationships in this class of solvents. Complex hydrogen bonding is postulated as the root cause of their melting point depressions and physicochemical properties; to understand these hydrogen bonded networks, it is imperative to study these systems as dynamic entities using both simulations and experiments. This review emphasizes recent research efforts in order to elucidate the next steps needed to develop a fundamental framework needed for a deeper understanding of DESs. It covers recent developments in DES research, frames outstanding scientific questions, and identifies promising research thrusts aligned with the advancement of the field toward predictive models and fundamental understanding of these solvents.

Abstract
The determination of nitrofurazone (NFZ) has received substantial attention because it is a kind of antibiotic drug. Herein, a rapid and low-cost electrochemical sensor for the analysis of NFZ is reported. The method uses Ag-modified electrodes in which different surfactants, hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide and sodium dodecyl sulfate, in a ternary choline chloride-urea-glycerol deep eutectic solvent were deposited. The physical properties of the solutions with various surfactants are investigated by a conductivity meter, viscometer, and tensiometer. The morphologies and crystallinity of the Ag-modified electrodes were characterized by using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and powder X-ray diffraction. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and CV analyses indicate that the as-prepared Ag-SDS electrode exhibited better performance as a NFZ sensor. The dynamic linear range of NFZ is 0.66-930 μM with a corresponding detection limit of 0.37 μM. The proposed electrochemical sensor was applied to detect NFZ in the aquaculture water sample, and the results showed good recovery in the range from 100.28 to 102.65%.

Abstract
![]()
Deep eutectic solvents
(DES) are potentially greener solvents obtained
through the complexation of simple precursors which, among other applications,
have been investigated in recent years for their ability to support
the self-assembly of amphiphilic molecules. It is crucial to understand
the factors which influence surfactant solubility and self-assembly
with respect to the interaction of the surfactant molecule with the
DES components. In this work, small-angle neutron scattering (SANS)
has been used to investigate the micellization of cationic (CnTAB) and anionic (SDS) surfactants in a ternary
DES comprising choline chloride, urea, and glycerol, where the hydrogen
bond donors are mixed in varying molar ratios. The results show that
in each case either globular or rodlike micelles are formed with the
degree of elongation being directly dependent on the composition of
the DES. It is hypothesized that this composition dependence arises
largely from the poor solubility of the counterions in the DES, especially
at low glycerol content, leading to a tighter binding of the counterion
to the micelle surface and giving rise to micelles with a high aspect
ratio. This potential for accurate control over micelle morphology
presents unique opportunities for rheology control or to develop templated
syntheses of porous materials in DES, utilizing the solvent composition
to tailor micelle shape and size, and hence the pore structure of
the resulting material.

Abstract
The structure of core-shell micelles formed by nonionic surfactant Triton X-100 (TX-100) in a supercooled glucose-urea melt is investigated by contrast variation small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), small angle neutron scattering (SANS), and HR-TEM. Cooling a molten mixture of glucose-urea (weight ratio of 3:2) to room temperature yields a supercooled solvent without crystallization that can be used for trapping micelles of TX-100. By use of a combination of water and glucose-urea mixture at different proportions as solvent for micellization, the scattering length density (SLD) of the solvent can be tuned to match the shell contrast of the micelles. A systematic analysis of SAXS and SANS data with different SLD of solvent permits a quantitative evaluation of electron density profile of micelles in different matrices. The core of TX-100 micelles shows significant swelling in glucose-urea melt, as compared to that in water. The dimension and morphology of micelles were evaluated by scattering techniques and HR-TEM. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) studies suggest that, unlike micelles in water, the diffusion of micelles in supercooled glucose-urea melt decreased by several orders of magnitude.

Abstract
Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) is a well-known anionic surfactant that forms micelles in various solvents including supercooled sugar-urea melt. Here, we explore the application of contrast variation small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) in discerning the structure and interactions of SDS micelles in aqueous solution and in a room-temperature supercooled solvent. The SAXS patterns can be analyzed in terms of a core-shell ellipsoid model. For aqueous SDS micelles, at low volume fractions, the features due to intermicellar interaction, S(q), in the SAXS pattern are poorly resolved because of the prominent contribution from shell scattering. Increasing the electron density of the solvent by the addition of the urea or fructose-urea mixture (at a weight ratio of 6:4) permits the systematic variation of shell scattering without influencing the structure drastically. For a 10% solution of SDS in water, the contribution from the shell can be completely masked by the addition of 40% urea or fructose-urea mixture. The fructose-urea mixture is a preferred additive as it can vary the scattering length density over a wide range and serves as a matrix to form supercooled micelles. The structural parameters of micelles in supercooled fructose-urea melt are obtained from contrast variation SAXS, small-angle neutron scattering, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy.

Abstract
During the past decade, deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have shown promising application in the self-assembly of surfactants. Various aggregates such as micelles, vesicles, lyotropic liquid crystals, microemulsions and gels have been reported. In this research, the phase behaviours of imidazolium surface active ionic liquids (SAILs) CnmimBr (n = 12, 14, 16) were investigated in ChG. With the help of small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), the types and structure parameters of aggregates were determined. The molecular packing of SAILs was influenced by the solvophobic chain length, surfactant concentration, temperature and solvent, accounting for their different aggregation behaviours. This study would give a good description of the molecular packing of surfactants in DESs.

Abstract
Despite the recent advancements in the field of deep eutectic solvents (DESs), their high viscosity often prevents practical applications. A versatile strategy to overcome this problem is either to add a co-solvent or to confine the DES inside a nanoscaled self-organized system. This work assesses the microstructures of a hydrated and nanoconfined DES comprising benzyltripropylammonium chloride [BTPA]Cl and ethylene glycol (EG). They act as a hydrogen-bond acceptor and a donor, respectively. The hydrogen bonding between [BTPA]Cl and EG in the DES (i.e., BTEG) and the molecular states of water in the hydrated BTEG were studied by Raman spectroscopy. The results show different hydrogen-bonding associations between water-water and water-BTEG or EG molecules. In addition, we investigated the confinement effects of BTEG in a Polysorbate 80 (Tween-80)/cyclohexane reverse micellar (RM) system. The results are compared with those of an ionic liquid-encapsulated RM system. The formation, bonding characteristics, and thermal stability of the RM droplets were studied by solubilization, dynamic light scattering, rheology, and Raman spectroscopy experiments. Furthermore, it is shown that hydrogen bonding between the DES and the surfactant leads to a stable RM system. Interestingly, the viscosity of the RM system is significantly lower than that of the neat DES suggesting that DESs have a much wider practical applicability in the form of RMs.

Abstract
The interfacial nanostructure of the three most widely-studied Deep Eutectic Solvents (DESs), choline chloride:urea (ChCl:Urea), choline chloride:ethylene glycol (ChCl:EG), and choline chloride:glycerol (ChCl:Gly) at a Pt(111) electrode has been studied as a function of applied potential and water content up to 50 wt%. Contact mode atomic force microscope (AFM) force-distance curves reveal that for all three DESs, addition of water increases the interfacial nanostructure up to ∼40 wt%, after which it decreases. This differs starkly from ionic liquids, where addition of small amounts of water rapidly decreases the interfacial nanostructure. For the pure DESs, only one interfacial layer is measured at OCP at 0.5 nm, which increases to 3 to 6 layers extending ∼5 nm from the surface at 40 or 50 wt% water. Application of a potential of ±0.25 V to the Pt electrode for the pure DESs increases the number of near surface layers to 3. However, when water is present the applied potential attenuates the steps in the force curve, which are replaced by a short-range exponential decay. This change was most pronounced for ChCl:EG with 30 wt% or 50 wt% water, so this system was probed using cyclic voltammetry, which confirms the interfacial nanostructure is akin to a salt solution.

Abstract
An anionic surfactant sodium dioctyl sulfosuccinate (AOT) aggregates in deep eutectic solvents (DESs) and their mixtures with water (up to 50% w/w) in a contrasting manner. Two DESs, a mixture of choline chloride + urea and choline chloride + ethylene glycol, commonly known as Reline and Ethaline, respectively, are used as solvents. Behavior of AOT at air-solution interface and aggregation in bulk is investigated using surface tension, conductivity, fluorescence, and dynamic light scattering measurements. The obtained results are correlated with structural aspects of solvent systems as well as with inherent properties of solvent such as Kamlet-Taft polarity parameters, degree of cohesiveness derived from Gordon parameter (G), and cohesive energy density. It is observed that the spontaneity of aggregation in neat DESs or DES-water mixtures follows a trend reflected by various solvent parameters. However, characteristic properties of aggregation in water does not fit into this trend, where critical aggregation concentration of AOT is found in between 30 and 50% (w/w) of respective DES-water mixtures. 1H NMR and 1H-1H 2D NOESY spectroscopy is employed to get insights into reason behind this anomalous behavior. It is observed that AOT forms self-assembled structures similar to that of other surfactants in neat DESs, whereas it undergoes nanosegregation in DESs-water mixtures. The present results are expected to be useful for colloidal aspects of DESs and their mixtures with water.

Abstract
The self-aggregation of a surfactant in a deep eutectic solvent (DES) for electrodeposition is reported. The physical properties and electrochemical behavior of an anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), in a widely used DES, a choline chloride-urea mixture (ChCl-urea), were investigated. On the basis of surface tension and the conductivity measurements, the SDS micelles that were formed in the ChCl-urea system remained stable at higher temperatures, that is, 90 °C. Cyclic voltammetric and chronoamperometric data indicate that the addition of SDS to the DES may alter the nucleation and the growth processes that occur in the electrodeposition process. Scanning electron microscopy images show that the SDS adsorption prevents dendrite formation during the electrodeposition process. A simple mechanism for the formation of the SDS micelles in the DES system for electrodeposition is proposed.

Abstract
Nanoemulsions (NEs) comprising ionic liquids (ILs); ethanolammonium formate (HO-EOAF), proliniumisopropylester dioctylsulfosuccinate ([ProC3][AOT]), and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, ([Bmim][NTf2]) as insoluble hydrophilic, surface active, and hydrophobic components have been constructed. This novel class of colloidal formulations exhibited several contrasting properties vis-à-vis conventional water-in-oil or water-in-ionic liquid or nonaqueous NEs such as (i) spontaneous formation, (ii) thermodynamic stability and isotropic nature, (iii) decrease of droplet size with increase in polar medium concentration, and (iv) high thermal and kinetic stability. Mechanisms and characteristics for such anomalies have been investigated by physical, spectroscopic, and imaging techniques. NEs have been demonstrated as versatile recyclable nanoreactors for user-friendly synthesis of materials such as metal-organic frameworks/light harvesting hybrid systems. We anticipate that this development will lead to the construction of several other need-based "all ionic-liquid nanoemulsions" in view of the flexibility provided by the tailoring nature of ILs.

Abstract
Recent investigations have shown that deep eutectic solvents provide a suitable environment for self-organisation of biomolecules, in particular phospholipids and proteins. However, the solvation of complex lyophilic moieties by deep eutectic solvents still remains unclear. Here we explore the behaviour of zwitterionic surfactants in choline chloride:glycerol eutectic mixture. Dodecyl-2-(trimethylammonio)ethylphosphate and N-alkyl-N,N-dimethyl-3-ammonio-1-propanesulfonate (alkyl = dodecyl, tetradecyl) surfactants were investigated by means of surface tension, X-ray reflectivity and small-angle neutron scattering. These surfactants were found to remain surface active and form globular micelles in deep eutectic solvents. Still, the surface behaviour of these species was found to differ depending on the headgroup and tail structure. The morphology of the micelles also slightly varies between surfactants, demonstrating differences in the packing of individual monomers. The characteristics of mixtures of the dodecyl surfactants is also reported, showing a deviation from ideal mixing associated with attractive interactions between sulfobetaine and phosphocholine headgroups. Such non-ideality results in variation of the surface behaviour and self-assembly of these surfactant mixtures. The results presented here will potentially lead to the development of new alternatives for drug-delivery, protein solubilisation and biosensing through a better fundamental understanding of the behaviour of zwitterionic surfactants in deep eutectic solvents.

Abstract
The deep eutectic solvent glyceline formed by choline chloride and glycerol in 1:2 molar ratio is much less viscous compared to glycerol, which facilitates its use in many applications where high viscosity is undesirable. Despite the large difference in viscosity, we have found that the structural network of glyceline is completely defined by its glycerol constituent, which exhibits complex microscopic dynamic behavior, as expected from a highly correlated hydrogen-bonding network. Choline ions occupy interstitial voids in the glycerol network and show little structural or dynamic correlations with glycerol molecules. Despite the known higher long-range diffusivity of the smaller glycerol species in glyceline, in applications where localized dynamics is essential (e.g., in microporous media), the local transport and dynamic properties must be dominated by the relatively loosely bound choline ions.

Abstract
Deep eutectic solvents have been demonstrated to support amphiphile self-assembly, providing potential alternatives as structure-directing agents in the synthesis of nanostructures, and drug delivery. Here we have expanded on this recent research to investigate the self-assembly of alkyltrimethylammonium bromide surfactants in choline chloride:malonic acid deep eutectic solvent and mixtures of the solvent with water. Surface tension and small-angle neutron scattering were used to determine the behavior of the amphiphiles. Surfactants were found to remain active in the solvent, and surface tension measurements revealed changes in the behavior of the surfactants with different levels of hydration. Small-angle neutron scattering shows that in this solvent the micelle shape depends on the surfactant chain length, varying from globular micelles (aspect ratio ∼2) for short chain surfactants to elongated micelles (aspect ratio ∼14) for long chain surfactants even at low surfactant concentration. We suggest that the formation of elongated micelles can be explained through the interaction of the solvent with the surfactant headgroup, since ion-ion interactions between surfactant headgroups and solvent may modify the morphology of the micelles. The presence of water in the deep eutectic solvents promotes an increase in the charge density at the micelle interface and therefore the formation of less elongated, globular micelles.

Abstract
Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have shown potential as novel media to support molecular aggregation. The self-aggregation behavior of two common and popular carbocyanine dyes, 5,5',6,6'-tetrachloro-1,1'-diethyl-3,3'-di(4-sulfobutyl)-benzimidazole carbocyanine (TDBC) and 5,5'-dichloro-3,3'-di(3-sulfopropyl)-9-methyl-benzothiacarbo cyanine (DMTC), is investigated within DES-based systems under ambient conditions. Although TDBC is known to form J-aggregates in basic aqueous solution, DMTC forms H-aggregates under similar conditions. The DESs used, glyceline and reline, are composed of salt choline chloride and two vastly different H-bond donors, glycerol and urea, respectively, in 1:2 mol ratios. Both DESs in the presence of base are found to support J-aggregates of TDBC. These fluorescent J-aggregates are characterized by small Stokes' shifts and subnanosecond fluorescence lifetimes. Under similar conditions, DMTC forms fluorescent H-aggregates along with J-aggregates within the two DES-based systems. The addition of cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) below its critical micelle concentration (cmc) to a TDBC solution of aqueous base-added glyceline shows the prominent presence of J-aggregates, and increasing the CTAB concentration to above cmc results in the disruption of J-aggregates and the formation of unprecedented H-aggregates. DMTC exclusively forms H-aggregates within a CTAB solution of aqueous base-added glyceline irrespective of the surfactant concentration. Anionic surfactant, sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS), present below its cmc within aqueous base-added DESs supports J-aggregation by TDBC; for similar SDS addition, DMTC forms H-aggregates within the glyceline-based system whereas both H- and J-aggregates exist within the reline-based system. A comparison of the carbocyanine dye behavior in various aqueous base-added DES systems to that in aqueous basic media reveals contrasting aggregation tendencies and/or efficiencies. Surfactants as additives are demonstrated to control and modulate carbocyanine dye self-aggregation within DES-based media. The unique nature of DESs as alternate media toward affecting cyanine dye aggregation is highlighted.

Abstract
The Powder Calibration and Processing packages implemented in DAWN 2 provide an automated diffraction-geometry calibration and data processing environment for two-dimensional diffraction experiments. The customizable processing chains permit the execution of data processing steps to convert raw two-dimensional data into meaningful data and diffractograms. The provenance of the processed data is maintained, which guarantees reproducibility and transparency of the data treatment. A software package for the calibration and processing of powder X-ray diffraction and small-angle X-ray scattering data is presented. It provides a multitude of data processing and visualization tools as well as a command-line scripting interface for on-the-fly processing and the incorporation of complex data treatment tasks. Customizable processing chains permit the execution of many data processing steps to convert a single image or a batch of raw two-dimensional data into meaningful data and one-dimensional diffractograms. The processed data files contain the full data provenance of each process applied to the data. The calibration routines can run automatically even for high energies and also for large detector tilt angles. Some of the functionalities are highlighted by specific use cases.
