Abstract Full text About this article

Cellulose nanofiber (CNF) was isolated from Okara using deep eutectic solvent (DES) with high-speed stirring. The composite hydrogels obtained by using different proportions of CNF and sodium alginate (SA) had different properties. The CNF/SA composite hydrogels were analyzed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy and tested for compression properties, rheological properties, water content, and swelling degree. Physical crosslinking between SA and Ca2+, and different degrees of hydrogen bond formation between SA and CNF were observed. The CNF/SA composite hydrogel have great potential as reinforcements in eco-friendly composite hydrogels for diverse applications.

Physical crosslinking between SA and Ca2+, and different degrees of hydrogen bond formation between SA and CNF were observed. The CNF/SA composite hydrogel have great potential as reinforcements in eco-friendly composite hydrogels for diverse applications.
