Actually, I am planning to prepare transparent cellulose hydrogels. For cellulose dissolving I am using this solvent medium DMAc/LiCl. Is it possible to prepare transparent hydrogels by using the above solution via free radical
I have read some document son hydrogel. You can use electron beam treatment to lower the DP and working on your products. Or you can pre-treatment your cellulose samples with acid, enzymes or many other ways to degraded cellulose and then it will easy dissolution.
