Ning Sun,Mustafizur Rahman,Ying Qin,Mirela L. Maxim,Héctor Rodríguez,Robin D. Rogers,Robin D. Rogers +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that both softwood (southern yellow pine) and hardwood (red oak) can be completely dissolved in the ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([C2mim]OAc) after mild grinding.
Journal ArticleDOI
The plasticizer market: an assessment of traditional plasticizers and research trends to meet new challenges
TL;DR: A brief history and an overview of the traditional plasticizers currently available in the world market, discusses some of the problems associated with the end uses of these plasticizers and reviews recent scientific approaches to resolve these problems as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Where are ionic liquid strategies most suited in the pursuit of chemicals and energy from lignocellulosic biomass
TL;DR: The journey from the discovery of the dissolution of cellulose in ionic liquids to the cusp of an enabling technology for a true biorefinery is discussed and some of the key questions which remain are considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of ionic liquids as low-volatility plasticizers for PMMA
TL;DR: In this article, room temperature ionic liquids (ILs) based on imidazolium salts, were found to be excellent plasticizers for poly(methyl methacrylate), with improved thermal stability, and the ability to reduce glass transition temperatures to near 0 °C.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ionic liquids: New generation stable plasticizers for poly(vinyl chloride)
TL;DR: In this paper, room temperature ionic liquids (ILs), based on ammonium, imidazolium and phosphonium cations, were studied as novel plasticizers for poly(vinyl chloride), PVC.
