PHASE TRANSFORMATIONS IN REGENERATED MICROCRYSTALLINE CELLULOSE FOLLOWING DISSOLUTION BY AN IONIC LIQUID
Phase transformations in microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) were studied following dissolution of 5, 10, and 20 wt. % MCC in the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium formate (BMIMFmO) and regeneration via water. BMIMFmO was found to be useful as a non-derivatizing solvent for cellulose without the...
