Novel Functional Materials Based on Cellulose

Part of the book series: SpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology ((BRIEFSAPPLSCIENCES))

Abstract

The shaping, chemical modification, and functionalization of cellulose are largely depended on the process of dissolution in an efficient solvent. Viscose process as the most important method for production of cellulose-regenerated materials was introduced. The dissolution of cellulose in several other most frequently used eco-friendly solvents was also discussed, including cellulose carbamate, N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide, aqueous alkali system, and ionic liquids. These processes provide efficient platforms for development of new regenerated materials and other products based on cellulose.
