TEMPO-Nanocellulose/Ca<sup>2+</sup> Hydrogels: Ibuprofen Drug Diffusion and In Vitro Cytocompatibility

TEMPO-Nanocellulose/Ca<sup>2+</sup> Hydrogels: Ibuprofen Drug Diffusion and In Vitro Cytocompatibility

Stable hydrogels with tunable rheological properties were prepared by adding Ca<sup>2+</sup> ions to aqueous dispersions of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine 1-oxyl (TEMPO)-oxidized and ultra-sonicated cellulose nanofibers (TOUS-CNFs). The gelation occurred by interaction among polyvalent ca...
