Chitin and chitosan: Properties and applications
TL;DR: Chitin is the second most important natural polymer in the world as mentioned in this paper, and the main sources of chitin are two marine crustaceans, shrimp and crabs, which are used for food, cosmetics, biomedical and pharmaceutical applications.

Chitin and chitosan polymers: Chemistry, solubility and fiber formation
TL;DR: In this paper, a review discusses the various attempts reported on solving this problem from the point of view of the chemistry and the structure of these polymers highlighting the drawbacks and advantages of each method and proposes that based on considerations of structure-property relations, it is possible to obtain chitin fibers with improved strength by making use of their nanostructures and/or mesophase properties of chitins.

Simple Chemical Transformation of Lignocellulosic Biomass into Furans for Fuels and Chemicals
TL;DR: It is reported that N,N-dimethylacetamide containing lithium chloride (LiCl) is a privileged solvent that enables the synthesis of the renewable platform chemical 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) in a single step and unprecedented yield from untreated lignocellulosic biomass, as well as from purified cellulose, glucose, and fructose.

1-Allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride room temperature ionic liquid: A new and powerful nonderivatizing solvent for cellulose
TL;DR: In this paper, a new and highly efficient direct solvent, 1-allyl-3methylimidazolium chloride (AMIMCl), has been used for the dissolution and regeneration of cellulose.

Rapid dissolution of cellulose in LiOH/urea and NaOH/urea aqueous solutions
Jie Cai,Lina Zhang +1 more
TL;DR: The results from DSC and (13)C NMR indicated that LiOH/urea and NaOH/UREa aqueous solutions as non-derivatizing solvents broke the intra- and inter-molecular hydrogen bonding of cellulose and prevented the approach toward each other of the cellulose molecules, leading to the good dispersion of cellulOSE to form an actual solution.
