• Rationalizing cellulose (in)solubility: reviewing basic physicochemical aspects and role of hydrophobic interactions (2012, background): “2010) which suggests the dissolution of the polymer by breaking the cellulose–cellulose hydrogen bonds and ‘‘the key to the solution of this problem of cellulose solubility is to search for a solvent that can destroy effectively the interchain hydrogen bonding in cellulose’’ (Zhang et al. 2002).”
• Dissolution of cellulose in aqueous NaOH/urea solution: role of urea (2014, background): “Thiourea and PEG are found to improve the dissolving capacity of NaOH solvent as well as urea (Zhang et al. 2002; Lue et al. 2007; Yan and Gao 2008; Han and Yan 2010).”
• Dissolving of cellulose in PEG/NaOH aqueous solution (2008, background): “which corresponds to the vibration band of C5 and C6. The results reveal that after regeneration the crystalline of cellulose take place a change from cellulose I to cellulose II ( Zhang et al. 2002 ), and it also indicates that cellulose dissolved well in the aqueous PEG-2000/NaOH solvent system.”
• Cellulose in NaOH–water based solvents: a review (2016, methodology): “This is the case of non-hydrolysed soy protein (Chen et al. 2004), chitin and chitosan (Zhou et al. 2004b; Zhang et al. 2002a; Morgado et al. 2011), alginate when coagulated in calcium salt solution (Zhou and Zhang 2001) and of organosolv lignin when coagulated in a concentrated acid bath…”
