Cellulose-based click-scaffolds: Synthesis, characterization and biofabrications.

Carbohydrates derivatives containing propargyl pending functional groups have been used in medical applications due to their improved chemical, biological, and functional properties. In this work, azide and alkyne pendant functional groups were introduced onto ethyl cellulose (EC) and β-cyclodextrin respectively in order to demonstrate the ability of scaffold formation by click chemistry. Technically, Azido-ethyl cellulose (D.
