Effect of gabapentin on solution surface properties and micellization behavior of betaine-based surfactant ionic liquids.

ABSTRACT: This study investigates the surface properties, micellization, and electrical conductivity of betaine-based ionic liquids (ILs) composed of [R-bet][Br] where R represents the C₄, C₆ and C₈ (specifically [C₄bet][Br], [C₆bet][Br], and [C₈bet][Br]) in aqueous gabapentin solutions at concentrations of (0.0000, 0.0100, 0.0300, and 0.0500) mol kg^-1 at 298.15 K. The surface tension measurements revealed that increasing gabapentin concentration and alkyl chain length decrease surface tension, indicating significant hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions. The related thermophysical micellization parameters, including critical micelle concentration (CMC) and minimum surface area per molecule (A_min), exhibited i
