Bacterial Cellulose—Graphene Based Nanocomposites [PDF]
Bacterial cellulose (BC) and graphene are materials that have attracted the attention of researchers due to their outstanding properties. BC is a nanostructured 3D network of pure and highly crystalline cellulose nanofibres that can act as a host matrix for the incorporation of other nano-sized materials.

Bacterial Cellulose for Osmometer Membranes [PDF]
IN the investigation of the mechanism of polymerization reactions, it is essential to be able to count the number of polymer molecules produced. This implies that the number average molecular weight has to be measured. The best method is to use an osmometer, taking precautions with regard to the extrapolation of measurements to infinite dilution ...

Engineering Bacterial Cellulose by Synthetic Biology [PDF]
Synthetic biology is an advanced form of genetic manipulation that applies the principles of modularity and engineering design to reprogram cells by changing their DNA. Over the last decade, synthetic biology has begun to be applied to bacteria that naturally produce biomaterials, in order to boost material production, change material properties and to
