Abstract
Herein a novel class of solvent systems for cellulose is introduced. Surprisingly, organic electrolyte solutions, which contain just a small molar fraction of ionic liquid, dissolve instantaneously large amounts of cellulose. The solvation properties of the solvent systems, required for dissolving the polymer, are discussed here.This publication has 30 references indexed in Scilit:
