Title: Design principles from multiscale simulations to predict nanostructure in self-assembling ionic liquids

Abstract

Nanoscale MD simulations with the Effective Fragment Potential are performed on aqueous mixtures of dialkylimidazolium ILs paired with three anions, producing insights on ionic domain structure. Ionic domain structure is correlated to nanoscale structure as determined by SAXS.
