Influence of Gel Stage from Cellulose Dissolution in NaOH-Water System on the Performances of Cellulose Allomorphs-Based Hydrogels

Novel hydrogels were prepared starting from different cellulose allomorphs (cellulose I, II, and III), through a swelling stage in 8.5% NaOH aqueous solution, followed by freezing at low temperature (−30 °C), for 24 h. After thawing at room temperature, the obtained gels were chemical cross-linked w...
