Investigation of water retention and mechanical properties of bacterial cellulose for wound care applications
Bacterial cellulose (BC) produced by the bacteria Gluconacetobacter xylinum is of high purity and crystallinity and has high water content due to the ultrafine highly fibrous structure which is similar to that of collagen[1]. The highly fibrous network contributes to increased mechanical strength. D...
