Abstract

Fabrication of multifunctional hydrogel with excellent mechanical property, self-healing and shape memory ability is still a challenging issue. In this study, a mechanical robust multifunctional hydrogel based on PVA reinforced by cellulose nanocrystal using nanofiller reinforcement strategy was reported. Owing to the hydrogen bonding and supramolecular interaction between PVA and CNC, the prepared hydrogel exhibited satisfying mechanical property. The obtained multifunctional PVA hydrogel could be potentially applied in biomedical or artificial skins fields.
