What is Deuterated Bacterial Cellulose Dissolution in Ionic Liquids about?
Understanding the dissolution mechanism of deuterated bacterial cellulose (DBC) is important to engineer advanced material applications such as in quantifying and visualizing biomolecules at the cellulose interface for diagnostics. Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) is applied to evaluate the distribution and volume fraction of dissolved DBC chains in 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate (EMIM-Ac) ionic liquid (IL-h) solvent in three different ways: (i) DBC in IL-h, (ii) DBC in a mixture of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) with IL-h (IL-h/DMF), and (iii) modified DBC by dissolution in IL-h with dichloromethane (DCM), (DCM-DBC). EMIM-Ac is a highly viscous solvent, and the incorporation of DMF reduces its viscosity. DCM incorporation into EMIM-Ac leads to partial acetylation of the cellulose chains. The DBC dissolves differently in all the modified solvents studied. The DBC and DCM-DBC dissolution in IL-h shows the presence of surface fractals (power law relation of intensity to a scattering vector, q, of q -3.4 ) indicating compact aggregated DBC structures. The DBC structure is more open in the DMF/IL-h solvent, which is reflected in the SANS curve mass fractal analysis with a power
