Formation of cellulose-starch gels and the effect of surfactant
Our group has been working on functionalised cellulose nanofibrils which form gels in aqueous formulations. Previously we have studied the gels formation upon addition of SDS, allowing gelation of the sample due to depletion flocculation between the SDS micelles and the anionic cellulose. Here, we aim at forming starch/cellulose gels and study their structural properties, and the effect of different kind of surfactant micelles to the gel structure. Selective deuteration of either the cellulose (via deuterated bacterial cellulose growth) or surfactant (SDS and DTAB) will allow us the study the gels structural properties and the micellar shapes in the mixtures.
