Key Points

  • To develop a sustainable cellulose hydrogel by optimizing the blending of cationic cellulose and carboxymethyl cellulose.
  • Utilized Response Surface Methodology for optimization.
  • Combined cationic cellulose with carboxymethyl cellulose.
  • Applied epichlorohydrin for crosslinking to increase gel content and swelling capacity.
  • Achieved high gel content in the hydrogel.
  • Demonstrated improved swelling capacity.

Abstract

A sustainable cellulose hydrogel was developed through Response Surface Methodology optimisation by blending cationic cellulose with carboxymethyl cellulose, followed by epichlorohydrin crosslinking to achieve high gel content and swelling capacity.
