γ-Valerolactone-based organic electrolyte solutions: a benign approach to polyaramid dissolution and processing
Jonas Winters, Wim Dehaen, Koen Binnemans
Abstract
Aromatic polyamides can be dissolved and processed in an organic electrolyte solution, where the ionic liquid and γ-valerolactone interact with the polymer through hydrogen bonding and dispersion forces, respectively.
