Images of dissolved and regenerated cellulose. (a) Dissolved cellulose in organic electrolyte solution (OES), (b) cellulose regenerated by hot water, and (c) precipitation of the regenerated cellulose after washing five times with water. The molar fraction of 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([AMIM]Cl)/OES (χ [AMIM]Cl) is from 0 to 1.0. (a, b) Magnetic bars are present at the bottom of the tubes.
