• Cellulose Chemistry and Properties: Fibers, Nanocelluloses and Advanced Materials (2016, background): “This agrees with the fact that LiCl forms a stronger complex with the former solvent [107].”
• Solubility of Chitin: Solvents, Solution Behaviors and Their Related Mechanisms (2017, background): “Xie and coworkers investigated the IL, 1-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium chloride ([Bmim]Cl) as a solvent but they achieved partial dissolution of chitin and chitosan at 110°C probably due to the moderated polarity of the IL [26].”
