“…(Eicchorn et al, 2010). Cellulose based polymer composites are widely studied in tissue engineering (Raghavendra et al, 2013;Zulkifli, Hussain, Rasad, & Yusoff, 2014), dialysis, ultrafiltration, per-meation, separation (Shibazaki, Kuca, Onabe, & Usuda, 1993), and purification (Anirudhan, Nima, & Divya, 2013). Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is the synthetic water soluble polymer with high swelling rate.…”
