“…Herein, we chose MFC as the nanofiber reinforcement to demonstrate this technique because of its good biocompatibility, high aspect ratio for entanglement, and applications in our previous works. [47][48][49] Each BVSM molecule possesses two vinyl groups that may undergo an addition reaction with nucleophiles (amino and hydroxyl groups). Chemical crosslinking experiments at room temperature were conducted for the QCS/MFC mixture containing BVSM, demonstrating no gelation within 24 h. However, robust and shape-recovered QCS/MFC cryogels were produced at À12 1C for 12 h, indicating that BVSM was triggered by the freezing process to chemically crosslink QCS and MFC.…”
