    Abstract:
    Herein, starch-cellulose interpenetrating network (IPN) hydrogels were fabricated by sequential Diels-Alder click reaction and photopolymerization in water. Moreover, β-cyclodextrin, a commonly used host molecule in supramolecular chemistry, was also introduced to improve the performance of the IPN hydrogel. Firstly, the starch-based dienes were synthesized by modifying starch with N-maleoyl-β-alanine, and the cellulose-based dienophiles were obtained by the reaction of cellulose and furfurylamide succinate; Secondly, the as-synthesized starch-based dienes, cellulose-based dienophiles, polymerizable β-cyclodextrin, crosslinker, and acrylamide were dissolved in water and obtained a transparent solution. The solution was maintained in a water bath of 50 °C for 3 h, forming the first network via catalyst-free click Diels-Alder reaction, subsequently, the second network was formed by photopolymerization. Their preparation conditions were optimized via one-factor experiments and their properties and structures were characterized. Finally, 5- fluorouracil (5-Fu) was used as a model drug to study the sustained release behavior of the drug-loaded hydrogels. Release profile was found to fit in Ritger-Peppas kinetic model and polymer relaxation and drug diffusion made a valuable contribution to drug release. Taking into account the virtues of easily controllable photopolymerization and catalyst-free Diels-Alder reaction, the strategy described here has a potential application in the preparation of IPN hydrogels.
