Abstract:

In order to avoid the usage of toxic reagents and reduce the high energy consumption and complicated multiple freeze-thaw cycles in the traditional preparation process of PVA composite hydrogels, PVA/F-CNCs/PA fluorescent cellulose nanocrystals hydrogels with good mechanical properties and high sensibility to Cl- were prepared by combining fluorescent cellulose nanocrystals (F-CNCs) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) through multiple hydrogen bonding under the cross-linking of phytic acid (PA). The fluorescent performance and Cl- sensibility of PVA hydrogel were improved significantly due to the excellent mechanical properties, high fluorescent performance, good biocompatibility and nanometer effect of F-CNCs. When the content of F-CNCs was 0.6 g, the compressive strength of PVA/F-CNCs/PA composite hydrogels was increased by 150%, and the crystallinity and thermal stability were also improved. The composite hydrogels were sensitive to Cl- at low pH, and the fluorescence quenching efficiency showed a linear response in the Cl- concentration range of 0-0.2 mol/L. The results indicated that the prepared fluorescent hydrogels had potential application in the field of Cl- concentration analysis and detection, biological and chemical sensors and disease diagnosis.
