Abstract Plant components are an inexhaustible source for the construction of
bio-based materials. Here we report, for the first time, the elaboration of
biobased cellulose nanocrystals (CNC)/xyloglucan (XG) hydrogels. XG is a
hemicellulose displaying a great affinity for cellulose surface and can be thus
irreversibly adsorbed on CNC. Properties of the hydrogels were investigated by
varying the molar mass of XG either by enzymatic treatment with Endoglucanase
(EG2) or physical fractionation by ultrasound (US). Fractions were
characterised by high-performance size exclusion chromatography (HPSEC) and
their monosacchari decompositions were determined. Three fractions with high,
average and small molar mass, (800, 300 and… More >
