This study focused on the synthesis and comprehensive characterization of environmentally friendly hydrogel membranes based on carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) for wound dressing and skin repair substitutes. These new CMC hydrogels were prepared with two degrees of functionalization (DS=0.77 and 1.22) and chemically crosslinked with citric acid (CA) for tuning their properties. Additionally, CMC-based hybrids were prepared by blending with polyethylene glycol (PEG, 10wt.%). The results demonstrated that superabsorbent hydrogels (SAP) were produced with swelling degree typically ranging from 100% to 5000%, which was significantly dependent on the concentration of CA crosslinker and the addition of PEG as network modifier. The spectroscopical characterizations indicated that the mechanism of CA crosslinking was mostly associated with the chemical reaction with CMC hydroxyl groups and that PEG played an important role on the formation of a hybrid polymeric network. These hydrogels presented very distinct morphological features depended on the degree of crosslinking and the surface nanomechanical properties (e.g., elastic moduli) were drastically affected (from approximately 0.08GPa to 2.0GPa) due to the formation of CMC-PEG hybrid nanostructures. These CMC-based hydrogels were cytocompatible considering the in vitro cell viability responses of over 95% towards human embryonic kidney cells (HEK293T) used as model cell line.
