FIBER COMPOSITION COMPRISING 1,3-GLUCAN AND A METHOD OF PREPARING SAME

摘要

The present invention is a solution comprising poly(alpha(1->3) glucan) and an ionic liquid. The solution can further contain a non-solvent that is water or an ionic liquid. The solution is suitable for use as a spinning solution for the preparation of fibers of poly(alpha(1->3) glucan) without the requirement of first derivatizing the poly(alpha(1->3) glucan).
