Structure of Adsorbed Surfactant Layers at Ionic Liquid-Air Interfaces

离子液体是一类重要的新型设计溶剂，本项目的研究将大大提高我们对离子液体物理性质的认识。澳大利亚研究人员将在OI Rutland实验室接受和频率光谱学的高级培训和经验，并使用中子反射。随着新的澳大利亚研究堆OPAL即将启动，该项目尤其及时，并将有助于为澳大利亚研究人员在该设施开展积极的计划提供种子。

The research conducted in the project will greatly enhance our understanding of the physical properties of ionic liquids, an important new class of designer solvents. Australian researchers will receive advanced training and experience using Sum Frequency Spectroscopy in the laboratory of OI Rutland, and in the use of Neutron Reflection. This project is especially timely with the imminent start-up of the new Australian research reactor, OPAL, and will help to seed an active program by Australian researchers at this facility.
