Crosslinking strategies in modulating methylcellulose hydrogel properties
Lorenzo Bonetti, Luigi De Nardo, Silvia Farè
Abstract
MC chemical modification. The advantages and limitations of each approach are elucidated, and special consideration is paid to the thermo-responsive properties after crosslinking towards the development of MC hydrogels with enhanced physical stability and mechanical performance, preserving the thermo-responsive behavior.
