  • Title: Determining relative rates of cellulose dissolution in ionic liquids through in situ viscosity measurement.
    Author: Cruz H, Fanselow M, Holbrey JD, Seddon KR.
    Journal: Chem Commun (Camb); 2012 Jun 07; 48(45):5620-2. PubMed ID: 22531832.
    Abstract:
    Using in situ viscosity measurement, the rate of cellulose dissolution in a number of ionic liquids has been determined allowing their performance as solvents to be quantitatively assessed. 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium ethanoate was shown to dissolve cellulose faster than analogous ionic liquids with chloride or dimethylphosphate anions. Analysis of the data highlights the influence of both anion basicity and relative concentration on the rate of dissolution.
