Article Abstract
Thanks to their unique physicochemical properties, ionic liquids (ILs) have moved from niche academic interest to critical components in various industrial applications. The textile industry, facing significant environmental and economic pressures, has begun to explore ILs as sustainable alternatives to traditional solvents and chemicals. This review summarizes research on the use of ILs in various textile processes, including dyeing, finishing, and fiber recycling, where their high thermal stability, tunable solubility, and low volatility are exploited to reduce resource consumption and environmental impact. The discussion also extends to the integration of ILs in textile waste recycling, highlighting innovative approaches to fiber dissolution and regeneration aimed at circular economy goals. Despite these advances, challenges such as high production costs and scalability remain barriers to the widespread adoption of ILs in the textile sector. Addressing these barriers through continued research and development is essential to fully realize the potential of ILs for sustainable transformation in textiles.

In this study, cellulose filaments were obtained from the dissolution of an industrial cotton residue in the ionic liquids (ILs) 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([Emim]-Cl) and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([Emim]-OAc) using dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as the cosolvent. Cellulose regeneration was carried out in water or ethanol coagulation baths, and the effect of IL and coagulant on the degree of polymerization (DP), morphology, crystallinity, and thermal and mechanical properties was evaluated. Both ILs promoted the complete dissolution of cellulose, with the process in [Emim]-OAc occurring faster and with less fiber swelling.

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a highly pure and crystalline cellulose produced via bacterial fermentation. However, due to its chemical structure made of strong hydrogen bonds and its high molecular weight, BC can neither be melted nor dissolved by common solvents. Therefore, processing BC implies the use of very strong, often toxic and dangerous chemicals.

The use of natural killer (NK) cell-based immunotherapy has been extensively explored in clinical trials for multiple types of tumors and has surfaced as a promising approach in tumor immunotherapy. Interleukins (ILs), a vital class of cytokines, play a crucial role in regulating several functions of NK cells, thereby becoming a focal point in the advancement of NK cell-based therapies. Nonetheless, the use of ILs as single agents is significantly constrained by their short half-life, limited efficacy, and adverse reactions.

Dye residues from the textile industry significantly contribute to water pollution, necessitating effective wastewater treatment methods. This study reports the successful synthesis of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles using various ionic liquids (ILs), [BMIM]-BF, [BMIM]-PF, and [BMIM]-Cl, as mediators. The synthesized nanomaterials were characterized using various techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy.

Although electrochemical sensors gained a lot of popularity through recent years, there is very little research on sensors with IL-based reference electrodes. This type of reference electrodes might be the ultimate solution for problem of RE miniaturization. In this paper a novel type of printed reference electrodes based on ionic liquids are presented.
