Abstract

Cellulose, a sustainable and versatile material, has attracted considerable attention owing to its eco-friendly properties and excellent physicochemical characteristics. Among various cellulose-based materials, hydrogels exhibit exceptional water retention capability, mechanical stability, and tunability, rendering them highly suitable for smart packaging, biomedicine, environmental remediation, sensing, and electronic applications. This review analyzes in depth the synthesis strategies, structural properties, and key applications of cellulose-based hydrogels. In smart packaging applications, cellulose-based hydrogels serve as active packaging materials that respond to environmental changes, enabling food preservation and freshness monitoring. In biomedicine, cellulose-based hydrogels show substantial promise for drug delivery, wound healing, and tissue engineering applications owing to their biocompatibility and tunable degradation. Their role in environmental remediation, including wastewater treatment and pollutant adsorption, further underscores their contribution to sustainability efforts. The integration of cellulose-based hydrogels into flexible, lightweight sensors and electronic materials has driven the development of advanced functional devices. With ongoing research and commercialization, these hydrogels are poised to become pivotal materials for sustainable technologies. Future advancements should focus on the optimization of synthesis techniques, improvement of mechanical properties while maintaining biodegradability, and enhancement of production scalability to advance green technologies and next-generation functional materials.
