In this paper, the effects of lithium chloride (LiCl) on 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (AMIMCl) and cellulose/AMIMCl were studied by steady-state and dynamic rheology experiments. After adding LiCl, a suprastructure may be formed in AMIMCl/LiCl because of fiber drawing and shear-thinning behavior. Moreover, the size of cellulose coil swelled by adding LiCl. In the master curve of cellulose-AMIMCl/LiCl solution, the critical overlap concentration was c* = 0.63 and the entangled concentration was ce = 2.27 for the entangled regime. Dependence of ηspon cellulose concentration in cellulose-AMIMCl/LiCl was ηsp∼c1.58and c2.91in dilute and semi-dilute untangled regimes, respectively. Therefore, the AMIMCl/LiCl mixture was not a θ solvent for the neutral polymer. The solubility of cellulose decreased and degradation was aggravated after adding LiCl.KeywordsBiopolymerPolymer solutionViscosityRheologyDegradation
