Hi,

You should use a small amount of co solvent (DMSO could be a good option) first disperse the starch in DMSO at around 90 oC then add your ionic liquids. This will work.

Yuri Mirgorod

We found that starch will dissolve better in ionic liquid if it dispersed, reduce the water content and raise temperature.
