Ionic liquids (ILs) and deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have been suggested as eco-friendly
alternatives to organic solvents. A trace amount of water is often unavoidable as impurity …

Ionic liquids (ILs) offer a wide range of promising applications because of their much
enhanced properties. However, further development of such materials depends on the …

The dissolution mechanism of cellulose in ionic liquids has been investigated by using
cellobiose and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate (EmimAc) as a model system under …

Being the main structural component in plants, cellulose is by far the most abundant organic
polymer on earth. The highest quantity of cellulose is found in the secondary walls of higher …

Based on classical molecular dynamics simulations, we discuss the impact of Coulombic
interactions on a comprehensive set of properties of room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) …

Rheological properties of cellulose dissolved in two ionic liquids (ILs), 1-allyl-3-
methylimidazolium chloride (AmimCl) and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (BmimCl) …

Co‐solvents can minimize two of the major problems associated with the use of ionic liquids
(ILs) as solvents for homogeneous derivatization of cellulose: high viscosity and limited …

Pretreatment for deconstructing the multifaceted interaction network in crystalline cellulose is
a limiting step in making fuels from lignocellulosic biomass. Not soluble in water and most …

The dissolution behavior of cellulose in the mixtures of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and
different ionic liquids (ILs) at 25° C was studied. High solubility of cellulose was reached in …

Room temperature ionic liquids (IL) have been used in numerous applications in chemistry.
Addition of water alters many of their properties making it possible to custom design solvents …
