Properties of cellulose hydrogel from kenaf core prepared via pre-cooled dissolving method

Hydrogels were produced from cellulose derived from kenaf core powder with weight average molecular weight of cellulose was 1.68 × 105 and was dissolved in NaOH/urea solvent at -13oC. To obtain the optimal dissolving parameters, different percentage of NaOH, urea and kenaf core cellulose was used to...
