The approach involves swelling of fibre surfaces with IL followed by enzymatic modification of the disrupted fibre surface using carbohydrate active enzymes. RESULTSThe capacity of seven cellulose-dissolving or cellulose-swelling ionic liquids to swell pulp fibres was compared. In addition, thirteen cellulases and five xylanases were screened for their IL toleran...
