Abstract

The paper summarizes different approaches for the dissolution of cellulose and the use of these cellulose solutions for analysis, regeneration, and homogeneous modification of the polymer. Aqueous and non-aqueous solvents, melts, and soluble cellulose intermediates are discussed with the focus on new developments for the shaping and the homogeneous conversion of cellulose. It will be shown that these media open up new paths towards nanostructured regenerated cellulose and tailored cellulose derivatives not accessible via heterogeneous reactions. Moreover, the preparation of conventional cellulose products with new structural features obtainable by conversion in cellulose solvents will be illustrated.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
