Cellulose-based biodegradable blends and composites regenerated from ionic liquids

This thesis presents the fabrication of biodegradable polymer blends and composites with the assistance of ionic liquids. The work included preparation and characterization of cellulose/PCL blend films, cellulose/ PCL-PDMS-PCL blend films, cellulose/ PVAL blend films and cellulose/clay composite films. An efficient and feasible approach of reducing plastic pollution was developed.
