CiNii Books - Bacterial cellulose : synthesis, production, and applications

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a natural polymer produced by different microbial cells. Its unique structural, physico-chemical, mechanical, thermal, and biological properties offer much potential for use in diverse applications in the biomedical, electronics, energy, and environmental fields, among others. This text provides an overview of the synthesis, characterization, modification, and application of BC. * Discusses sources, characterization, and biosynthesis of BC * Covers composites and aerogels based on BCs * Describes development of BCs from waste and challenges in large-scale production of BCs * Explores a variety of applications such as environmental, industrial, and biomedical This book will be of great interest to researchers and industry professionals in materials science, chemical engineering, chemistry, and other related fields seeking to learn about the synthesis and application of this important material.
