Bacterial cellulose-silver nanoparticles (BC-AgNPs) composite was prepared for a bacterial wound dressing. The oil palm frond (OPF) juice was utilized as a low-cost raw material for BC production. The AgNPs were incorporated in the BC composite by thermal reduction of 1 mM silver nitrate for their a...
