Abstract

Hydrogel is a network of polymer chains that are hydrophilic and able to absorb and release large amount of water in a reversible manner. At present, synthetic and natural hydrogels have been extensively studied due to their responsive properties toward specific environmental stimuli such as pH, temperature, and ionic strength. This includes hydrogel from natural cellulose obtained by bacterial fermentation. The capability of hydrogel for transmitting and resulting in a useful response is termed as the smartness ability of the material. Studies on thermal behavior and performance allow fabrication of hydrogels that exhibit smart properties such as with temperature sensitivity or ideally dual (pH/temperature) sensitivity. The designed hydrogel can be characterized thermally using instrumental analyses, for example, the Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA), Thermomechanical Analysis (TMA), and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA). These allow evaluation on the glass transition temperature, melting temperature, degree of crystallinity, and mechanical properties of the fabricated hydrogels. Furthermore, understanding thermal behavior of the hydrogels can help to elucidate the effect of the preparation technique and treatment on properties of the hydrogels. This gives advantages on producing hydrogel with required properties for defined application. In this work, thermal characterization of bacterial cellulose-based hydrogels and its composites using related instrumental analyses were discussed.
