The cellulose/silica hybrid biomaterials are prepared by sol–gel covalent crosslinking process. The tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) as precursor, γ-aminopropyltriethoxylsilane (APTES) as couple agent, and 2,4,6-tri[(2-epihydrin-3-bimethyl-ammonium)propyl]-1,3,5-triazine chloride (Tri-EBAC) as crosslinking...
