There is a sustained interest in developing solvents for physically dissolving cellulose, ie,
without covalent bond formation. The use of ionic liquids, ILs, has generated much interest …

In the history of cellulose chemistry, hydrogen bonding has been the predominant
explanation when discussing intermolecular interactions between cellulose polymers. This …

Packaging is a food preservation technology widely used in the world. Naturally-sourced,
biodegradable polymers are becoming increasingly popular in the food packaging sector …

Deep eutectic solvents represent an important alternative in the field of green solvents due
to their low volatility, non-toxicity, and low synthesis cost. In the present investigation, we …

Flavors, being highly volatile compounds used in various circumstance, often require
encapsulation to facilitate their handling and processing. Among different encapsulation …

The molecular self-diffusion coefficients were accessed, for the first time, in solutions of
microcrystalline cellulose, dissolved in 30 wt% and 55 wt% aqueous tetrabutylammonium …
