How can i dissolve CNC (Crystalline Nano Cellulose) completely, is it possible?

06 March 2023 1 764 Report

I have CNC from banana rachis fibre but I need to dissolve it for further research, is it possible or not? If you are an expert in this field -please give me a knock.

I don't know about crystalline nano cellulose but cellulose is difficult to dissolve. Toxic solvents are mostly used to dissolve it like N,N-dimethylacetamide and lithium chloride, lithium chloride or N,N-dimethylformamide etc.
