Recent Advances in Solvents for the Dissolution, Shaping and Derivatization of Cellulose: Quaternary Ammonium Electrolytes and their Solutions in Water and Molecular Solvents

TL;DR: The objective of the present review is to show the advantages of using quaternary ammonium electrolytes, QAEs, including salts of super bases, as solvents for cellulose dissolution, shaping, and derivatization, and increase the interest in further investigation of these importantsolvents.
Journal ArticleDOI

Improved yield of carbon fibres from cellulose and kraft lignin

TL;DR: To meet the demand for carbon-fibre-reinforced composites in lightweight applications, cost-efficient processing and new raw materials are sought for as discussed by the authors, where Cellulose and kraft lignin are each interestin...
Journal ArticleDOI

Cellulose Regeneration and Chemical Recycling: Closing the “Cellulose Gap” Using Environmentally Benign Solvents

TL;DR: In this paper, Ionic liquids are employed for cellulose physical dissolution and sha..., and reuse of wood cellulose, fabric reuse, and recycling to mitigate the expected "cellulose gap".
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural changes in spruce wood during different steps of steam explosion pretreatment

TL;DR: In this paper, the three steps of the steam explosion process, namely, steam treatment, explosion, and impact, were separately considered and their effects on structural changes of wood were studied.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cellulose in Ionic Liquids and Alkaline Solutions : Advances in the Mechanisms of Biopolymer Dissolution and Regeneration.

TL;DR: This review is focused on assessment of solvents for cellulose dissolution and the mechanism of regeneration of the dissolved biopolymer, via formation of mini-sheets, association into “mini-crystals”, and convergence into larger crystalline and amorphous regions.
