Dataset description

Solutions of two types of cellulose in the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium acetate (BmimAc) have been analyzed using rheology and fast-field cycling (FFC) NMR spectroscopy, in order to analyze the macroscopic (bulk) and microscopic environments respectively. The degree of polymerization (DP) was observed to have a significant effect on both the overlap (c*) and entanglement (ce) concentrations, as well as the intrinsic viscosity ([η]). For microcrystalline cellulose (MCC)/BmimAc solutions, [η] = 116 mL g-1 which is comparable to MCC/1-ethyl-3-methyl-imidazolium acetate (EmimAc) solutions, whilst [η] = 350 mL g-1 for the commercial cellulose (higher DP). Self-diffusion coefficients (D) obtained via the model-independent approach were found to decrease with cellulose concentration and increase with temperature which can in part be explained by the changes in viscosity, however ion interactions on a local level are also important. Both Stokes-Einstein and Stokes-Einstein-Debye analysis were carried out to directly compare rheological and relaxometry analysis. It was found that polymer entanglements affect the microscopic environment to a much lesser extent than the macroscopic environment. Finally, the temperature dependencies of η, D and relaxation time (T1) could be well described by an Arrhenius relationship and thus activation energies (Ea) for flow, diffusion and relaxation were determined. We demonstrate that temperature and cellulose concentration have a different effect on short and long-range interactions.
