Copper-based nanoparticles specifically nanocrystals were successfully synthesized through the horizontal vapor phase growth technique (HVPGT). Bacterial cellulose (BC) was incorporated with 10% copper overnight and was subjected to in situ reduction reaction approach via the reducing agents: sodium...
