Abstrakt: The unique features of self-healing hydrogels hold great potential for biomedical applications including injectable hydrogels for cancer treatment, procedures for tumor removal or resection. However, the fabrication of durable and multifunctional self-healing hydrogels composed of biocompatible, green building blocks via versatile synthetic methodology continues to pose a significant challenge. Here, we engineered dialdehyde cellulose (DAC, as a macromolecular bio-crosslinker), and electrosterically stabilized nanocrystalline cellulose (ENCC, as a ligand-targeted drug carrier) to facilitate a strategy for the construction of self-healing hydrogels. Benefiting from its high carboxyl group density, ENCC was functionalized with folic acid (FA) using a non-toxic DMTMM coupling agent and loaded with doxorubicin (DOX, a model drug) through electrostatic interactions. A natural self-healing hydrogel was prepared from carboxymethyl chitosan (CCTS) and DAC mixed with DOX-loaded FA-ENCC using dynamic Schiff-base and hydrogen linkages. A combination of active supramolecular and vital covalent junctions led to a soft (storage modulus ∼500 Pa) and durable material, with rapid (< 5 min) reconstruction of molecular structure from fractured and injected to intact forms. The DAC-CCTS hydrogel showed an appreciable loading capacity of ∼5 mg g -1 . Biocompatibility of the hydrogels was evaluated using cell viability and metabolic activity assays, showing lower metabolic activity due to sustained release of its cargo. These materials offer a versatile, sustainable, and green platform for the efficient construction of hydrogels, based on macro- and nano-engineered cellulose, the most abundant and easily accessible biopolymer.
