Dissolution of Silk Fibroin in Mixtures of Ionic Liquids and Dimethyl Sulfoxide: On the Relative Importance of Temperature and Binary Solvent Composition

Dissolution of Silk Fibroin in Mixtures of Ionic Liquids and Dimethyl Sulfoxide: On the Relative Importance of Temperature and Binary Solvent Composition

We studied the dependence of dissolution of silk fibroin (SF) in mixtures of DMSO with ionic liquids (ILs) on the temperature (<i>T</i> = 40 to 80 °C) and DMSO mole fraction (<i>χ</i><sub>DMSO</sub> = 0.5 to 0.9). The ILs included BuMeImAcO, C<sub>3</sub&...
