摘要

Polymer hydrogels have the characteristics of porous structure and high histocompatibility, and exhibit remarkable stability in various industrial fields. In this study, the highly elastic antibacterial rosin-modified cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) hydrogel was successfully prepared. The mechanical properties, swelling properties and antibacterial properties were investigated through a series of characterizations. The hydrogel prepared in this study exhibited a maximum elongation of 1379%. Scanning electron microscopy results revealed a tightly knit network structure in the hydrogel synthesized through UV-initiated polymerization. In terms of antibacterial properties, the Rosin@CNC hydrogel demonstrated significant inhibitory effects on both Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative Escherichia coli. With a maximum swelling ratio of 603.42%, it showed excellent swelling capacity, enabling it to absorb and retain large amounts of water, accommodating various materials including small molecules, polymers, and particles. These characteristics positioned it as a promising antibacterial material with broad application prospects in the fields of biomedicine, plant protection and water treatment.
