The effect of fibre volume fraction and mercerization on the properties of all-cellulose composites (2008, unknown): “To prepare cellulose solutions of various cellulose concentrations (1–7% wt/v), a specified amount of ramie fibres (provided from Toyobo Co., Ltd., Japan) were pre-treated by immersing them in distilled water, acetone, and DMAc, each for 24 h at 25 C and subsequent dissolution in 8% LiCl/DMAc (wt/v)”
Effect of side chain length on structure and thermomechanical properties of fully substituted cellulose fatty esters (2011, unknown): “This system of solvent (LiCl/DMAc) for cellulose solubilisation is really interesting since concentrated solutions of cellulose can be prepared without any degradation of the natural polymer in time (Dupont, 2003).”
Twenty-five years of cellulose chemistry: innovations in the dissolution of the biopolymer and its transformation into esters and ethers (2019, background): “The first strategy is laborious (requires ca. one day), expensive (144 mL of methanol plus DMAc/g cellulose) and is recommended where cellulose dissolution without degradation in essential (Dupont 2003).”
