a)

Critical micelle concentration is determined by the surface tension measurements.

b)

Aggregation number is determined by the florescence quenching experiment using pyrene as a probe and cetyl pyridinium chloride as a quencher.

c)

Polarities of the surfactants are determined using ratio of the fluorescence intensity (I1/I3) of pyrene.

d)

Optical rotation of 10 mg/mL of monomer and micelle polymers were determined in triply deionized water were obtained at 589nm [sodium D line].

e)

Partial specific volumes were determined by the density measurements at different surfactant concentrations.

f)

The μep values for all monomer and polymeric ionic liquids were determined using methanol as to marker and dodecanophenone as tmc tracer. Experimental conditions: 64.5 cm (56 cm effective length) × 50 μm ID capillary with an applied voltage of −20 kV at 25 °C using a running buffer of 25 mM each of NaH2PO4 and Na2HPO4, 100 mM monomer and polymeric ionic liquids; dodecanophenone introduction, 50 mbar for 10 s (1.5 mg /mL in 50:50 MeOH/H2O).
