Preparation of Cellulose Nanocrystal-Reinforced Physical Hydrogels for Actuator Application

Preparation of Cellulose Nanocrystal-Reinforced Physical Hydrogels for Actuator Application

In the present investigation, we prepared cellulose nanocrystal (CNC)-reinforced polyvinyl alcohol-cellulose (PVA-Cell) physical hydrogels using a simple blending method for actuator application. The prepared hydrogels were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction,...
