Superabsorbent Sponge and Membrane Prepared by Polyelectrolyte Complexation of Carboxymethyl Cellulose/Hydroxyethyl Cellulose-Al3+

A novel carboxymethyl cellulose/ hydroxyethyl cellulose-Al3+ (CMC/HEC-Al3+) hydrogel was prepared through electrostatic complexing between the anionic polyelectrolyte CMC and cationic cross-linking agent Al3+. The structure and properties of the hydrogel were characterized using FTIR, TGA, and SEM....
