Nanocellulose Gels: Concepts and Applications LLYZA ELLENA MENDOZA 10.26180/5cd3aaf3a5c8d https://bridges.monash.edu/articles/thesis/Nanocellulose_Gels_Concepts_and_Applications/8098148 Cellulose can be processed into biodegradable and biocompatible hydrogels via a chemical reaction. These gels were produced and characterised to understand how they form in order to engineer them for applications. Low-density foams were produced from these hydrogels and demonstrated superabsorbent properties. Moreover, the gels were also utilised in biomedical applications as a medium for the separation of molecular mixtures. This work demonstrates the potential of cellulose-based gels to be a commercialised sustainable and renewable nanomaterial. 2019-05-09 04:22:10 Nanocellulose gels TEMPO-mediated oxidation gel rheology foams gel electrophoresis Chemical Engineering not elsewhere classified Timber, Pulp and Paper
