“…A green chemistry approach is favorable as no organic solvents or hazardous substances are utilized. Due to, a pure BC is well known that it composes of mainly nanometer-sized diameter of cellulose fibers and forming a 3D web-like porous structure [27,28]. In addition, these fibers are distributed and interconnected to form a finely woven porous structure.…”

“…In addition, these fibers are distributed and interconnected to form a finely woven porous structure. This special characteristic, the vacuum filtration process should suck the AgNPs suspension into the spongy structure and distribute evenly through the BC sheet as well as along the BC nanofiber surfaces using a vacuum force, causing an AgNPs to grow on the BC [27,28]. Therefore, this work the synthesized AgNPs were composited with BC pellicles via a simple vacuum filtration technique.…”

Composite nanomaterials based on silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are considered promising antimicrobial agents due to their excellent antimicrobial activity. The aim of this work is to develop bacterial cellulose (BC) composites that act synergistically with AgNPs. BC@AgNPs composites were developed using an ex-situ composite development strategy and evaluated for their structural characteristics and antimicrobial activities. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) showed impregnation of AgNPs into the porous BC network. The composite formulation was also confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, which showed the presence of additional crystalline peaks along with those of the pure BC. Bactericidal tests of BC@AgNPs nanocomposites against common pathogens, including Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative Escherichia coli, showed a significant reduction in their growth compared to pure BC. These results suggest that the synthesized BC@AgNPs composites could be promising antibacterial materials for potential applications in a wide range of medical and environmental applications.
