In this investigation we present for the first time microemulsions comprising an ionic liquid as surfactant and a room-temperature ionic liquid as polar pseudo-phase. Microemulsions containing the long- chain ionic liquid 1-hexadecyl-3-methyl-imidazolium chloride ([C(16)mim][CI]) as surfactant, decanol as cosurfactant, dodecane as continuous phase and room temperature ionic liquids (ethylammonium nitrate (EAN) and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([bmim]][BF4]), respectively) as polar microenvironment have been formulated. The phase diagrams of both systems were determined at. a constant surfactant/cosurfactant molar ratio. EAN microregions in oil have been confirmed with conductivity measurements. In presence of EAN a model of dynamic percolation could be applied. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements indicated a swelling of the formed nano-structures with increasing amount of EAN, a linear dependence of the hydrodynamic radii on the EAN weight fraction was observed. Both systems exhibited a single broad peak in SAXS and follow a characteristic q(-4) dependence of the scattering intensity at large q values. The Teubner-Strey model was successfully used to fit the spectra giving f(a), the arnphiphilic factor, and the two characteristic length scales of microemulsions, namely the periodicity, d, and the correlation length, zeta. Furthermore, the specific area of the interface could be determined from the Porod limit and the experimental invariant. The amphiphilic factor clearly demonstrated structural differences between the two systems confirming that the nature of the polar ionic liquid plays an important role on the rigidity of the interfacial film. The adaptability of three different models ranging from spherical ionic liquid in oil over repulsive spheres to bicontinuous structures has been checked.
