1-Dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide, CAS: 61546-00-7

Key Applications

• Mineral Processing & Flotation Reagents

• • Acts as a cationic collector for silicate minerals such as quartz and feldspar, improving separation efficiency in neutral pH systems.
  • Enhances adsorption on mineral surfaces through hydrophobic chain packing and electrostatic interactions.
• Surfactants & Emulsion Stabilizers

• • Functions as a powerful surfactant capable of reducing surface tension and stabilizing emulsions in aqueous and mixed‑solvent systems.
  • Used in cosmetic formulations, detergents, and cleaning agents where wetting, spreading, and micelle formation are critical.
• Soft Materials & Self‑Assembly

• • Forms micelles, vesicles, and ordered nanostructures, enabling use in:
    • templated synthesis of nanomaterials
    • controlled drug‑delivery research
    • polymer–ionic liquid hybrid materials
  • Its amphiphilic nature makes it valuable in materials science for designing functional soft matter systems.
• Solvent & Reaction Medium

• • Serves as a tunable ionic liquid medium for:
    • phase‑transfer catalysis
    • organic transformations requiring amphiphilic environments
    • extraction and separation processes
• Antimicrobial & Biochemical Interfaces

(General to long‑chain imidazolium ILs; not directly cited in the search results but widely supported in literature.)

• • Long‑chain imidazolium salts often exhibit membrane‑disruptive antimicrobial activity, making them candidates for coatings, disinfectants, and bio‑interface studies.
