“…Some ionic liquids can be used to dissolve cellulosic materials, but limitations exist regarding their usage such as high energy consumption, high cost, and inherent difficulty in solvent recovery (de Oliveira Ribeiro et al 2018;Zhu et al 2018a). N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide monohydrate (NMMO•H2O), an organic solvent, has also been used to dissolve cellulose.…”

Cellulose is the most abundant polysaccharide on Earth. It can be obtained from a vast number of sources, e.g. cell walls of wood and plants, some species of bacteria, and algae, as well as tunicates, which are the only known cellulose-containing animals. This inherent abundance naturally paves the way for discovering new applications for this versatile material. This review provides an extensive survey on cellulose and its derivatives, their structural and biochemical properties, with an overview of applications in tissue engineering, wound dressing, and drug delivery systems. Based on the available means of selecting the physical features, dimensions, and shapes, cellulose exists in the morphological forms of fiber, microfibril/nanofibril, and micro/nanocrystalline cellulose. These different cellulosic particle types arise due to the inherent diversity among the source of organic materials or due to the specific conditions of biosynthesis and processing that determine the consequent geometry and dimension of cellulosic particles. These different cellulosic particles, as building blocks, produce materials of different microstructures and properties, which are needed for numerous biomedical applications. Despite having great potential for applications in various fields, the extensive use of cellulose has been mainly limited to industrial use, with less early interest towards the biomedical field. Therefore, this review highlights recent developments in the preparation methods of cellulose and its derivatives that create novel properties benefiting appropriate biomedical applications.

“…The cellulose filaments are inferior to MCC filaments spun with the same ionic solvent and dry-jet wet spinning method (Zhu et al, 2018). This inferiority is mainly due to their dissolution of pure MCC at high concentrations (20.8% and 23.6%) leading to the formation of liquid crystalline (LC) phases of the cellulose solutions, resulting in a high degree of filament alignment (f = 0.80-0.84).…”

“…To this end, 18% microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) has been dissolved in 1-ethyl-3-methyl-limidazolium diethyl phosphate (EMImDEP) using a dry-jet wet spinning method, leading to significant increase in mechanical properties and smaller filament diameters of 20-23 μm (Zhu et al, 2016). Moreover, using dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as a co-solvent was proven to facilitate the dissolution process allowing spinning up to ~24% cellulose (Zhu et al, 2018).…”

The textile industry is resource intensive, which has a significant impact on global emissions and waste pollution. To meet the demand of textiles over a third of fibres used in manufacturing are sourced from fossil fuels. As the global demand for textiles continues to grow, manufacturers have having to seek innovative approaches to providing sustainable regenerative cellulose fibres. However, the latest climate change pressures on the textile industry has uncovered grave environmental issues associated with traditional regenerative cellulose production such as the viscose manufacturing process. The viscose process the required intensive use of hazardous chemicals which leads to water pollution and ecotoxicity. In addition, if forestry products are unsustainably sourced for the viscose production this can lead to resource scarcity and deforestation. To provide a holistic solution for mitigating these challenges this study uses the by-products of paper manufacturing dissolved in an ionic liquid to produce regenerated cellulose filaments. Paper mill sludge (PMS) is a cellulosic by-product typically used on animal bedding and land spreading. The material has been dissolved in an ionic liquid -1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium diethyl phosphate -with the aid of a co-solvent dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) -and spun into continuous filaments for textile production. The mechanical properties of paper sludge filaments are found to be competitive with commercial viscose, which is promising for their drop-in replacement. It is also demonstrated that by increasing the concentration of the PMS from 9% to 12.4%, an improvement of the filament properties can be achieved; an increase in modulus from ~19 GPa to ~ 26 GPa and ~ 223 MPa to ~ 282 MPa. These values are shown to be competitive with other commercial, less sustainable, regenerated cellulose fibres.

The processing of cellulose dissolved in ionic liquids (ILs) enables the development of new materials. Besides the established production of cellulosic fiber products, interesting technical applications are developed like super micro filament fibers, cellulose/chitin blend fibers, precursors for carbon fibers, and all‐cellulose composites. This review provides a detailed summary of these new developments and describes how ILs are selected for the processing of cellulose with a particular emphasis on industrial realization. State‐of‐the‐art spinning processes are reviewed and it is illustrated how uniquely selected ILs can be used not only for established fiber spinning but for the development of new cellulose‐based materials.
