Study of Cellulose Nanocrystals and Zinc Nitrate Hexahydrate Addition in Chitosan Hydrogels

In this study, chitosan hydrogels were produced with 0, 2, 4 and 6 wt% of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) using hexahydrate zinc nitrate (Zn(NO3)2.6H2O) as a catalyst for chitosan crosslinking reaction. CNC´s size was estimated by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and surface charge by zeta potential. Hyd...
