Microscopic Analysis of Cellulose Hydrogels

The M205-C stereo microscope (Leica Microsystems, Heerbrugg, Switzerland) was used to analyze the morphology of the hydrogels and observe their surfaces in detail [77 (link)]. A magnification of 1.5 and 4 was used on EG-methanolic/NRC, EG-methanolic/MCC, EG-ethanolic/NRC, EG-ethanolic/MCC, WE/NRC, and WE/MCC for surface analysis. The three-dimensional structure of the cellulose hydrogel suffered swelling in the presence of an aqueous medium, and the ability to retain different volumes of water was evaluated.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
