Abstract

Abstract : A new type of regeneration method of cellulose I was developed, and the regenerated cellulose I has a crystallinity as high as 84.7%. This mild and processable method makes it possible to shape cellulose I into various shapes, for example aerogels and fibers. Abstract : The regeneration of cellulose from microcrystalline cellulose/DMAc·LiCl solutions through thermal induced sol–gel transition and longtime gelation resulted in the formation of wholly cellulose I with a crystallinity as high as 84.7%.
