A core/shell structured alginate hydrogel fibers with carboxymethyl cellulose coating for pH responsive color sensor

Journal of the Textile Institute, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown, С. 1 - 9

Опубликована: Янв. 6, 2025

The low breaking strength and elongation rate of alginate fibers, coupled with the unsatisfactory encapsulation contents, constitute primary factors limiting their application in field smart textiles. Therefore, a core-shell based composite hydrogel fiber @ carboxymethyl cellulose (ALG@CMC) blueberry anthocyanin (BA) was studied, which can solve this problem be used as pH-responsive color sensor. ALG@CMC gel prepared by wet spinning in-situ principle. FTIR analysis confirmed that interaction between anthocyanins did not involve chemical changes. surface ALG coated CMC shell SEM. colorimetric properties fibers at different pH were characterized. increased from 54.27% to 87.02% after coating. Concurrently, there significant enhancement both tensile thermal stability. This work provides new strategy for creating green renewable textile sensors, has potential value
