Modification of Chitin Particles with Ionic Liquids Containing Ethyl Substituent in a Cation

Table 1

Solubility of chitin in ionic liquids (% w/w) at 105°C.

[Emim][OAc]	[Emim][Lact]	[Emim][Cl]	[Emim][Br]	[Emim][I]	[Epyr][I]	[EMS][BFSI]
9^(1)	8	3	12^(1)	11^(1)	6^(2)	<1

was transparent, but equilibrium concentration of chitin in IL could not be reached due to very high viscosity of the solution. solidified at this concentration of chitin.
