Cellulose modification using ionic liquids

The aim of this project was to investigate ways of chemically modifying cellulose using ionic liquids. Cellulose is a readily available, naturally occurring, polymeric carbohydrate which is ideal for chemical modification owing to the high density of its functional groups. However, it is insoluble i...
