Abstract:Biocompatible, mechanically stable, highly hydrophilic/swellable and safe antibacterial biomaterials are crucial for wound dressing and other applications in the health sector. Therefore, this study was conducted for the development of bacterial nanocellulose membranes, which were, for the first time, enriched with bacteriostatic and bactericidal effective avocado seed extracts prepared by different extraction techniques (ultrasonic, Soxhlet, high pressure with supercritical carbon dioxide). First, the product… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
