A self-bonded nonwoven web, at least some cellulosic fibers that are self-bonded to each other at points of intersection of the cellulosic fibers with each other; and, an ionic liquid. Methods of making such a web are also disclosed, wherein the method comprises: contacting at least some of the first, cellulosic fibers with an ionic liquid; exposing the ionic liquid and the first, cellulosic fibers to a first temperature; and exposing the ionic liquid and the first, cellulosic fibers to a second temperature that is lower than the first temperature. |
