Excerpt

Advanced biocomposite materials from microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) and alginic acid (AA) were produced using 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([C4mim] Cl) as the biopolymers' solvent. The effect of factors such as the mass ratio of cellulose and alginic acid in the materials as well as the soaking agent used for the removal of residual ionic liquid (IL) from them were evaluated. While the physical properties of the biopolymer blends (surface morphology, thermal properties, absorption capacity) were not affected by the increase in …
