Cellulose Alginate Quercetin Hydrogel Films with Mechanical and Optical Properties

Sarah Kalli Silva da Silva engineered renewable hydrogel films from bleached Eucalyptus cellulose with sodium alginate and quercetin additives. The dataset likely contains results from standardized tests assessing film morphology, intermolecular interactions, crystallinity, optical response, wetting, hydration, and tensile behavior. It was uploaded to figshare on 2026-05-25.

Use Cases

• Optimizing film formulations for UV-vis attenuation based on quercetin content mentioned in the description
• Analyzing the relationship between alginate content and film hydration/wetting behavior described in the description
• Modeling mechanical performance (UTS, Young's modulus) of composite hydrogels based on the described weight percentages
• Comparing the optical and mechanical trade-offs in biobased films for packaging applications described in the description

Strengths

• Includes specific performance metrics: UV-vis attenuation >95%, maximum force 147.85 ± 9.82 N, UTS 67.20 ± 4.46 MPa, Young's modulus 1411.3 ± 18.3 MPa.
• Describes a standardized and scalable protocol for film production, suggesting reproducible experimental conditions.
• Provides a clear optimum formulation (CEL-2SA-1Q at 97/2/1 wt %) with comparative performance against neat cellulose films.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is 523.3 KB, indicating a very limited scope likely focused on a specific experimental series.
