Preparation of regenerated cellulose/montmorillonite nanocomposite films via ionic liquids

Regenerated cellulose/montmorillonite (RC/MMT) nanocomposite films were successfully prepared in ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (BMIMCl) using solution casting method. The effect of MMT loading on the thermal, mechanical, gas permeability and water absorption properties of the na...
