Cellulose Composite

A novel bacterial cellulose (BC) composite (carboxymethylated-bacterial cellulose, CM-BC) was synthesized by Acetobacter xylinum by adding water-soluble carboxymethylated cellulose (CMC) in the culture medium. FTIR results showed that CM-BC is obtained by the incorporation of CMC in the network of BC. Water-holding capacity and water vapor transmission rates (WVTR) of CM-BC and BC are determined. The WVTR of CM-BC is comparable to that of BC, but the water-holding capacity of CM-BC is improved compared with BC. Tensile strengths measurement results showed that the fracture stress of CM-BC is higher than that of BC, indicating that CM-BC have more potential wound dressing applications than BC.

Cellulose Composite

We prepared composite films consisting of two biocompatible materials, bacterial cellulose and silk fibroin. Aqueous silk fibroin solution and bacterial cellulose excreted by Acetobacter xylinum were used to fabricate the composite films. It was verified by field emission scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction that the two components were finely blended and that the silk fibroin was crystallized during the composition of the films. The silk fibroin penetrated well between the individual fibrils of the bacterial cellulose, while the water molecules inside the pellicular bacterial cellulose were evaporating. The composite films did not dissolve in water due to the crystallization of the silk fibroin in the composite films. We also observed the change in the mechanical properties of the composite films according to the water content. The composite films became more flexible and tougher when they were dipped in water, whereas they were very brittle in the dehydrated state.
