Composite Nanocellulose Fibers-Based Hydrogels Loading Clindamycin HCl with Ca<sup>2+</sup> and Citric Acid as Crosslinking Agents for Pharmaceutical Applications

Biocomposite hydrogels based on nanocellulose fibers (CNFs), low methoxy pectin (LMP), and sodium alginate (SA) were fabricated via the chemical crosslinking technique. The selected CNFs-based hydrogels were loaded with clindamycin hydrochloride (CM), an effective antibiotic as a model drug. The pro...
