General description

1-Allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride is a thermostable and nonvolatile task-specific ionic liquid (TSIL). It shows high cellulose solubilization ability.
We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product has been enhanced for catalytic efficiency. Click here for more information.

Application

AMIM-Cl may be used:
  • As a solvent to dissolve cellulose during the preparation of regenerated cellulose materials.
  • As a solvent for the acetylation of cornhusk cellulose to form cornhusk cellulose acetates (CCAs).
  • As a plasticizer for cornstarch to form AMIM-Cl-plasticized starch film.

Water added to a solution of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) in 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (AmimCl) reduces the solvent quality and causes significant changes in the flow properties and microstructure due to restructuring and aggregation of cellulose molecules. We report an experimental investigation

This paper presents the dielectric characteristics of nanocomposite films of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) embedded with silver (Ag) nanoparticles and graphene oxide(GO). The nanocomposite films were fabricated by using the solvent casting approach. The morphological analysis was carried out through scanning
