Dimethyl sulfoxide enhances both cellulose dissolution ability and biocompatibility of a carboxylate-type liquid zwitterion

金沢大学理工研究域生命理工学系The cellulose dissolution ability of a liquid zwitterion, the most biocompatible cellulose solvent, was improved by adding a co-solvent, dimethylsulfoxide. Moreover, the biocompatibility of the liquid zwitterion was also improved by adding dimethylsulfoxide although it is toxic relative to the liquid zwitterion. This mixture is an efficient and extremely biocompatible cellulose solvent.Embargo Period 12 monthsThis paper has supplementary information
