Microwave-induced esterification of cellulose in homogeneous phase has been investigated. Cellulose was first solubilized in the solvent system LiCl/ N,N -dimethylacetamide and then esterified by lauroyl chloride in the presence of N,N -dimethyl-4-aminopyridine. Microwave activation resulted in a drastic reduction of reaction time (1 min) compared to conventional heating. The mechanical and thermal properties of the plastic films obtained were established and a preliminary study of their biodegradability has been performed. .
