Description
Summary:Nanocellulose is of great interest in material science nowadays mainly because of its hydrophilic, renewable, biodegradable, and biocompatible nature, as well as its excellent mechanical strength and tailorable surface ready for modification. Currently, nanocellulose is attracting attention to overcome the current challenges of dynamic hydrogels: robustness, autonomous self-healing, and self-recovery (SELF) properties simultaneously occurring in one system. In this regard, this review aims to explore current advances in design and fabrication of dynamic nanocellulose hydrogels and elucidate how incorporating nanocellulose with dynamic motifs simultaneously improves both SELF and robustness of hydrogels. Finally, current challenges and prospects of dynamic nanocellulose hydrogels are discussed. •Review on recent advancements in dynamic nanocellulose hydrogels•Investigation of self-healing and self-recovery properties of dynamic nanocellulose hydrogels•Evaluation of different dynamic linkages on the properties of dynamic nanocellulose hydrogels•Discussions on the applications, challenges, and perspectives of dynamic nanocellulose hydrogels
