The dual threats of the depletion of nonrenewable energy and environmental pollution
caused by petroleum-based polymers motivate utilization of naturally occurring polymers to …

This paper reviews the application of ionic liquids to the deconstruction and fractionation of
lignocellulosic biomass, in a process step that is commonly called pretreatment. It is divided …

This is the first report on the dissolution of cellulose at room temperature (RT) by using the
AlCl3/ZnCl2· 4H2O solvent system. Cellulose with broad degrees of polymerization (DP) …

The article is a critical review of all aspects of the dissolution of cellulose in NaOH-based
aqueous solutions: from the background properties of the solvent itself, to the mechanisms of …

The creation of a circular economy for cellulose based textile waste is supported by the
development of an upcycling method for cotton polyester blended waste garments. We …

Cellulose of bacterial origin, known as bacterial cellulose (BC), is one of the most versatile
biomaterials that has a huge potential in tissue engineering due to its favourable mechanical …

This mini review is limited to very recent studies (last 5–10 years) on two major issues,
concerning: the production and physical/chemical modification of bacterial cellulose (BC) …

New cellulose solvent based on choline hydroxide/urea (ChOH/Ur) deep eutectic solvent
(DES) was developed. The ChOH/Ur DES has a promising solubility for cellulose compared …

In this paper, we report the development of a novel regenerated cellulose fibre process of
the Lyocell type, denoted Ioncell-F. The process is characterized by the use of a powerful …

The preparation of cellulose-based materials is an area of increasing interest for scientists
working in chemistry, chemical engineering, biochemistry, and many other related areas …
