Reinforcement with cellulose nanocrystals of poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogels prepared by cyclic freezing and thawing
Abstract
Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) were incorporated into polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogels prepared by repeated freeze–thaw processing. The CNC-loaded hydrogels had improved structural stabilities and distinct microstructures, characterized by ordered domains of CNCs. The water sorption of the gels increased with CNC content due to the hydrophilic nature of the cellulose and the decrease in PVA crystallinity. A reinforcement effect was observed in the CNC-loaded samples upon the application of uniaxial, confined compression, with the elastic moduli of the PVA–CNC samples increased relative to pure PVA hydrogels. Hydraulic permeability values were derived from the stress transients: at strains of ∼15 to 20% and greater, the permeability of all samples approached a plateau value reflective of the hindered flow in soft gels which have been compressed, densified and dehydrated.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
