摘要
Reinforcement of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogels was achieved by direct chemical cross-linking of surface modified microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) whiskers with PVA. In order to produce hydrogels, the MCC whiskers were first obtained by TEMPO-mediated oxidation of the cellulose substrate and ultrasonication followed by direct cross-linking to PVA (Mw 98,000) via forming acetal bonds and freeze–thawing. The viscoelastic properties of the produced hydrogels were clearly improved following the chemical cross-linking, featuring values for viscous and elastic moduli G′ and G″ on the order of 10 kPa, which is particularly interesting for biomedical orthopedic applications.
