Abstract | Nanocellulose is proving to be a very promising material for high value applications in biomedicine. In both cellulose nanocrystal and cellulose nanofiber forms, nanocellulose is employed as either the matrix component or cross-linking agents to generate nanohydrogels for controlled drug delivery. This family of materials have the benefit of abundance and renewability, high hydrophilicity and swelling capacity, high surface functionality, mechanical stability, sustainable and facile preparation, and biocompatibility. This chapter outlines differences in cellulose source, cellulose form, mechanisms of drug release, and how this impacts hydrogel form and function. A detailed summary has been conducted on nanocellulose-based hydrogels for controlled drug delivery, highlighting the matrix component, cross-linking agents, and key points of each research article. The chapter concludes with the challenges and opportunities for the nanocellulose hydrogel field, with an emphasis on ensuring safety of these materials into the future. |
