Title Characterization of Cellulose Fiber Derived from Hemp and Polyvinyl Alcohol-Based Composite Hydrogel as a Scaffold Material
Year 2023
Published Polymers, 15, 20
Abstract Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) were successfully extracted and purified from hemp using an alkaline treatment and bleaching process and subsequently used in conjunction with polyvinyl alcohol to form a composite hydrogel. Cellulose nanocrystals (1-10% (w/v)) were integrated into polyvinyl alcohol, and sodium tetraborate (borax) was employed as a crosslinking agent. Due to the small number of cellulose nanocrystals, no significant peak change was observed in the FT-IR spectra compared to pristine polyvinyl alcohol. The porosity was created upon the removal of the water molecules, and the material was thermally stable up to 200 degrees C. With the presence of cellulose nanocrystals, the melting temperature was slightly shifted to a higher temperature, while the glass transition temperature remained practically unchanged. The swelling behavior was examined for 180 min in deionized water and PBS solution (pH 7.4) at 37 degrees C. The degree of swelling of the composite with cellulose nanocrystals was found to be higher than that of pristine PVA hydrogel. The cell viability (%) of the prepared hydrogel with different proportions of cellulose nanocrystals was higher than that of pristine PVA hydrogel. Based on the results, the prepared composite hydrogels from cellulose nanocrystals extracted from hemp and polyvinyl alcohol were revealed to be an excellent candidate for scaffold material for medical usage.
