Acknowledgements
The present PhD thesis was performed at the Institute of Physical and Theoreti-
cal Chemistry, University of Regensburg (Germany) and it is my pleasure to thank nu-
merous people, who became involved in many different ways.
First of all, I would like to thank my PhD supervisor Prof. Dr. W. Kunz, for giv-
ing me this interesting subject, many valuable discussions, and providing me the best
scientific support.
Further, I appreciate Dr. D. Touraud for the helpful discussions concerning the
ionic liquid microemulsions and his continuous interest in my studies. I am grateful to
Dr. Rainer Müller, Prof. Dr. H.-J. Gores, Prof. Dr. R. Buchner and their co-workers,
who supported this work by enabling the usage of their equipment.
Particular thanks are addressed to Dr. U. Keiderling and Dr. I. Grillo, my local
contacts at the HMI Berlin (Germany) and ILL Grenoble (France), respectively, who
helped me in performing the SANS experiments. I extend my thanks to Dr. B. Smarsly
and his co-workers, Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces (Golm, Germany),
for giving me the opportunity to perform SAXS measurements at their workgroup.
Further, I want to show apreciation to Dr. R. Neueder and Dr. H. Preu for the
good introduction to the field of electrical conductivity and light scattering, respec-
tively.
I am also very grateful to all of my colleagues, who have constructed a very
friendly atmosphere for working. I give my acknowledgement especially to Dipl.-Chem.
O. Zech for the good collaboration in the field of colloidal ionic liquid systems, to col-
leagues Dipl.-Chem. B. Ramsauer, Dipl.-Chem. C. Schreiner, and W. Simon for their
friendship and their general cooperativeness. Additionally, I want to thank Dr. S. Jor-
dan, Dr. C. Blattner, and Dr. J. Kröner for the wonderful time I had with them and for
helping me whenever I needed it, especially at the beginning of my PhD thesis.
My special thanks are given to my family, my girl friend Susanne, and to all of
my friends, who encouraged me and understood my work. Without their support, it
would have been impossible for me to finish this thesis. Table of Contents
