Curing of Cellulose Hydrogels by UV Radiation for Mechanical Reinforcement

Curing of Cellulose Hydrogels by UV Radiation for Mechanical Reinforcement

The use of biomaterials as a replacement for thermoplastic polymers is an environmentally sound strategy. In this work, hydrogels of cellulose isolated from wheat husk were modified by UV irradiation (353 nm) to improve mechanical performance. The cellulose was dissolved with a solvent system <i&...
