Abstract: Cellulose is one of the most abundant renewable natural resources on Earth, and it has been estimated that in the order of 400,000 tonnes/year of paper and additional 100,000 tonnes/year of refined cellulose for use in the preparation of cellulosic derivatives, viscose fibres and cellophane films are produced globally. Ionic liquids have proven to be potentially excellent solvents for the dissolution of biomass, and we have previously studied the solubility of glucose in ionic liquids in order to understand the key interactions present in the system. Here, we intend to dissolve cellulose samples in an ionic liquid and, using temperature to slow the process, acquire time-resolved data that will allow the kinetics of structural changes in the dissolution mechanism to be evaluated, providing key information not hitherto available on the process.
