Review of Cellulose Non-Derivatizing Solvent Interactions with Emphasis on Activity in Inorganic Molten Salt Hydrates
Abstract

During cellulose dissolution in non-derivatizing solvents, the inter- and intramolecular hydrogen bonds of the polymer are deconstructed. This occurs either by hydrogen bond formation between one or more components of the solvent systems and the hydroxyl groups of the cellulose or by coordination bond formation between the metal ion present in the medium and the hydroxyl group of cellulose molecules. None of the polymer molecules are actually chemically modified during dissolution. In the first part of this review, we examine the literature pertaining to the different interaction mechanisms between cellulose and non-derivatizing solvent systems with emphasis on the inorganic molten salt hydrates. In the second part of this effort, we further review inorganic molten salt hydrates from the point of view of the changes they impart to the physical properties of the cellulose and the various chemical reactions that can be performed in it.
