Unusual linear dependency of viscosity with temperature in ionic liquid/water mixtures

Abstract:
An unusual linear dependency of viscosity with temperature has been observed in aqueous solutions of 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium-based ionic liquids because of the ion induced structural transition which leads to the violation of both the Stokes-Einstein and fractional Stokes-Einstein equations, suggesting the presence of dynamic heterogeneity in the system.

Surface Tension, Capillary Action, and Viscosity
The various IMFs between identical molecules of a substance are examples of cohesive forces. The molecules within a liquid are surrounded by other molecules and are attracted equally in all directions by the cohesive forces within the liquid. However, the molecules on the surface of a liquid are attracted only by about one-half as many molecules. Because of the unbalanced molecular attractions on the surface molecules, liquids contract to form a shape that minimizes the number...
