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 …

Solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR) is a powerful and attractive
characterization method for obtaining insights into the chemical structure and dynamics of a …

Urea can improve the solubility and stability of cellulose in aqueous alkali solution, while its
role has not come to a conclusion. To reveal the role of urea in solution, NMR was …

Desoxyribosenucleic acid, DNA, and cellulose molecules self-assemble in aqueous
systems. This aggregation is the basis of the important functions of these biological …

To elucidate the role of urea in dissolution of cellulose in aqueous alkali-urea solvent, the
dissolution process was monitored by differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray …

The understanding of the state of dissolution of cellulose in a certain solvent is a critical step
forward in the development of new efficient solvent systems for cellulose. Nevertheless …

To develop a green solvent for chitin dissolution, the most fundamental aspects of its
mechanism must be elucidated. In this work, an aqueous KOH/urea solution was utilized for …

The development of strategies for dissolution and regeneration of cellulose constitutes an
increasingly active research field due to the direct relevance for many production processes …

The distinction between thermodynamic and kinetics in cellulose dissolution is seldom
considered in the literature. Therefore, herein an attempt to discuss this topic and illustrate …

The inherently amphiphilic nature of native cyclodextrins (CDs) determines their peculiar
molecular encapsulation features, enabling applications such as targeted drug …
