Synthesis and characterization of a self-assembling hydrogel from water-soluble cellulose derivatives and sodium hydroxide/thiourea solution
Hydrogels are hydrophilic polymers that can swell and absorb water without dissolving, provided that chemical or physical crosslinks exist among the macromolecular chains. The hydrogel can be derived from synthetic and natural polymers, the latter having desirable properties such as biocompatibility...
