Ionic liquids (ILs) pretreatment has emerged as a promising technology toward environmentally benign conversion of lignocellulosic residues into high value cellulosic fiber as sustainable raw material for biocomposite fabrication. This study presents a comparison of ILs-assisted pretreatment of oil...
