Recent Developments in Cellulose-Based Hydrogels
This special issue belongs to the section “Gel Applications“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to the intensification of global warming and the greenhouse effect, the exploration and research of cellulose-based hydrogels has become an important topic for research. Cellulose-based hydrogels, as a new type of green material, have strong plasticity and have become a popular material. However, due to the limited mechanical properties and poor compatibility of single cellulose-based hydrogels, researchers have modified them, not only retaining the original excellent properties of cellulose hydrogels but also adding other properties. This has broadened the development of the field of cellulose hydrogels. It is believed that in the near future, cellulose-based hydrogels may be applied in various fields.
