tlooto Summary

Solvents applied in cellulose chemistry are reviewed, discussing advances and limitations of homogeneous phase chemistry.

Abstract

Important cellulose solvents are described based on the systematization of derivatizing and non-derivatizing solvents. Advances and limitations of the homogeneous phase chemistry of the biopolymer will be discussed based on new results considering adequately own research work in the field.
