Aggregation of Polysorbate 80 in room temperature ionic liquids investigated by molecular dynamics simulations by Mohammad Latif, Muhammad Alif, Abdul Rahman, Mohd Basyaruddin

“…Simulation results revealed weak solvophobicity of RTILs in comparison with the hydrophobic effect in water. The effect of different anions was unclear, possibly due to the equal ability of both RTILs to facilitate self-aggregation when compared with water. …”
