Catalyst-Free Crosslinking Modification of Nata-de-Coco-Based Bacterial Cellulose Nanofibres Using Citric Acid for Biomedical Applications

Abstract: Bacterial cellulose (BC) has gained attention among researchers in materials science and bio-medicine due to its fascinating properties. However, BC’s fibre collapse phenomenon (i.e., its inability to reabsorb water after dehydration) is one of the drawbacks that limit its potential. To overcome this, a catalyst-free thermal crosslinking reaction was employed to modify BC using citric acid (CA) without compromising its biocompatibility. FTIR, XRD, SEM/EDX, TGA, and tensile analysis were carried out to evaluate… Show more

“…Bacterial cellulose fibers were densely packed, irregularly ordered and rough. The surfaces of oven dried BC films were constituted of numerous randomly oriented and overlapped fibrils producing an aggregated web structure 22 The samples produced from SH medium, SW medium and the standard HS medium were compared, There are differences in the width of the microfibrils. The BC microfibrils formed on standard HS medium was thicker.…”
