The regenerated cellulose films were prepared by dissolving cotton cellulose pulp directly in room temperature ionic liquid namely, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate at $80^{circ}C$, followed by washing/curing in different coagulants namely, methanol, deionized water, methanol- deionized water, and isopropyl alcohol- deionized water. It was found that the type of coagulants employed for curing the cellulose films has a significant influence on the amount of residual ionic liquid entrapped in the films. The amount of residual ionic liquids was 2.68, 1.01, 0.84, and 0.75 wt.% for the films cured with deionized water, isopropyl alcohol- deionized water, methanol, and methanol- deionized water, respectively. The DTG peaks of regenerated cellulose films showed two decomposition temperatures at $280^{circ}C$ and $320^{circ}C$. Among all the cases studied, deionized water curing case showed the lowest decomposition temperature, attributed to entrapment of large residual ionic liquid in it. Electromechanical characteristic of the regenerated cellulose films was also investigated.
