Cellulose ionogels, a perspective of the last decade: A review.

Cellulose ionogels have been extensively studied due to the variability of their properties and applications. The capability of trapping an ionic liquid in a biodegradable solid matrix without losing its properties makes this type of material a promising substitute for fossil fuel-derived materials. The possibility to formulate ionogels chemically or physically, to choose between different ionic liquids, cellulose types, and the possibility to add a wide range of additives, make these ionogels an adaptable material that can be modified for each target application in many fields such as medicine, energy storage, electrochemistry, etc.

Chitosan-reinforced cellulosic bionogels: Viscoelastic and antibacterial properties.

New chitosan-reinforced cellulosic bionogels were successfully formulated with different chitosan loadings (0.25, 0.5, 0.

Viscoelastic properties of physical cellulosic bionogels of cholinium lysinate.

Novel ionogels with different cellulose contents, namely, 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 wt%, were formulated with cholinium lysinate (ChLys), and the rheological properties were evaluated at 3 and 7 days postgelation.

Tuning the rheological properties of cellulosic ionogels reinforced with chitosan: The role of the deacetylation degree.

The rheological and thermal properties of formulated cellulosic ionogels reinforced with chitosan with 54-84% deacetylation degrees (DDs) were studied. The ionogels were stable, and the linear viscoelastic regions (LVRs) were determined. The rheological spectra of the ionogels revealed strong physical gels.
