Development of cellulose hemicellulose and cyclodextrin based hydrogels for the in vitro release of biomolecules and metal ion adsorption

Abstract

Chemically crosslinked three dimensional hydrogel network has great potential in the field of drug delivery tissue engineering adsorption of metal ions and dyes etc Naturally abundant polysaccharides are excellent choice as precursor for hydrogel because of their biodegradability and ease of functionalization Herein variants of cellulose hemicellulose and cyclodextrin are chemically crosslinked in various molar ratio to synthesize novel hydrogels The synthesized hydrogels are characteriz...
