Description
Summary:Driven by the promising future of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), extensive research in the field of CNCs' preparation has been conducted to date. This critical review provides a perspective on recent advances in the preparation of CNCs utilizing ionic liquids (ILs) as a media, from protic acidic cellulose-hydrolyzing ILs to basic ILs. The review highlights advantages and shortcomings of the synthetic methods, and describes the properties of the CNCs obtained from ILs - surface morphology, size, crystallinity, and thermal properties. The review highlights advantages and shortcomings of the synthetic methods for the preparation of cellulose nanocrystals, and describes their attributes such as surface morphology, size, crystallinity, and thermal properties.
