1. Cellulose in quaternary ammonium hydroxide solutions
Abstract : An ever-increasing demand to shift away from fossil-based feedstock towards renewable resources has led to more use of bio-based materials. Cellulose being the most abundant biopolymer on Earth has received a considerable attention with a wide range of applications (in textile fibers, films, membranes, etc. READ MORE

2. Towards alkali-stable polymers and hydroxide exchange membranes functionalized with alicyclic quaternary ammonium cations
Abstract : In the current work, cationic polymers functionalized with N-alicyclic quaternary ammonium (QA) cations were synthesized and characterized as potential hydroxide exchange membranes (HEMs) for application in fuel cells. Three different polymers, namely poly(arylene ether sulfone), spiro-ionene and poly(arylene alkylene), were explored as polymer backbones for the HEMs. READ MORE

3. Exploring N-alicyclic quaternary ammonium functional polymers as hydroxide exchange membranes
Abstract : As the global power generation is shifted toward renewable and intermittent sources, the importance of fuel cells and other energy storage and conversion devices is continually increasing. However, many of these technologies are still under development and further research is necessary before they can be implemented. READ MORE

4. Cellulose solutions in aqueous hydroxide bases
Abstract : Cellulose is a renewable and widely available carbohydrate polymer whose utility for mankind only increases as we move towards a circular bioeconomy. Unlike most plastics or metals, it cannot be melted, and therefore, solution processing is important. READ MORE

5. Cellulose in Quaternary Ammonium-based Solvents: Dissolution, Modification and Coagulation
Abstract : Processing cellulose through dissolution and regeneration is essential for many applications, yet challenges are posed because it does not readily melt or dissolve in commonly used aqueous and organic solvents. Consequently, extensive efforts have been devoted to developing novel and efficient solvents for cellulose, as well as exploring new functionalization routes. READ MORE
