  Abstract

In this study, PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) and CNC (cellulose nano-crystal) composite hydrogel was manufactured and the effect of CNC content less than 1 wt% was investigated on the mechanical properties and cell viability. The CNC was utilized to enhance the compressive stress of the PVA hydrogel. We have focused on a low content of CNC less than 1 wt% because CNC is very expensive to use as an additive. The fabrication of PVA/ CNC hydrogels with CNC contents of 0.25, 0.50, and 0.75 wt% was done using solvent casting and freeze-thawing physical cross-linking method. The compressive strength of the PVA/CNC hydrogel with a CNC content of 0.75 wt% was improved up to 95% higher than that of pristine PVA. Furthermore, through MTT and DAPI staining experiments, PVA/CNC hydrogels exhibited no toxicity and good cell viability due to the smooth proliferation of cells.
