I want to study the mesophases in cellulose molecules, can anyone guide me for its solvent used and to control the molecular arrangement inside the cellulose chain my using suitable solvent?
You can dissolve Cellulose in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride, it is one of the best solvents ever. Please find more practical details in my publications (dissolution instructions are available in any of them), or send me a private message if you have any questions.
1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride is easily available commercially.
