Deep understanding of the structure–property relationships of polysaccharide derivatives
depends on the ability to control the position of the substituents around the monosaccharide …

In the past decade, ionic liquids (ILs) have received enormous interest as solvents for
cellulose. They have been studied intensively for fractionation and biorefining of …

The remarkable efficiency of chemical reactions is the result of biological evolution, often
involving confined water. Meanwhile, developments of bio-inspired systems, which exploit …

This review covers methods for modifying the structures of polysaccharides. The introduction
of hydrophobic, acidic, basic, or other functionality into polysaccharide structures can alter …

The anniversary of the journal “Cellulose” is an opportunity to review innovations that were
introduced during the past 25 years. Of these, from our perspective, the development of …

A homogeneous acylation of cellulose with different vinyl esters in the biodegradable and
less toxic ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methyl-imidazolium acetate ([EMIM] OAc) is described for the …

Long/short chain mixed cellulose esters (MCE) are practical, promising polymers with
interesting properties. In the molecular design of MCE, using long acyl chains made from …

Cellulose acetate is widely used in films, filters, textiles, lacquer and cosmetic products.
Herein we demonstrate the production of cellulose esters under homogeneous conditions …

Cellulose is one of the most abundant natural polymers in the nature, which has many
attractive advantages, such as renewability, biodegradability, and biocompatibility. However …

Improvement in the thermal stability of wood-based cellulose; the needle-leaf, bleached,
krafp pulp (NBKP) and the wood cellulose nanofibers (WCNF) obtained from the NBKP, was …
