Cellulose Amorphization by Swelling in Ionic Liquid/Water Mixtures: A Combined Macroscopic and Second-Harmonic Microscopy Study

Amorphization of cellulose by swelling in ionic liquid (IL)/water mixtures at room temperature is a suitable alternative to the dissolution–precipitation pretreatment known to facilitate enzymatic digestion. When soaking microcrystalline cellulose in the IL 1‐ethyl‐3‐methylimidazolium acetate contai...
