Abstract:Modified bamboo fiber (BF), sodium alginate (SA), and
NaCl were
used as the raw materials. At first, the modified bamboo fiber (BF)
was obtained through the surface modification of the bamboo fiber.
Then, BF and SA were dissolved in a solution, and CaCl2 was used for molding. Finally, the formed hydrogel was soaked in
a NaCl solution to prepare ion-conducting hydrogels with different
bamboo fiber contents. The effects of BF on the mechanical properties,
swelling properties, and microstructure of the composite … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
