Investigation into the structural, morphological, mechanical and thermal behaviour of bacterial cellulose after a two-step purification process.
Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a natural hydrogel, which is produced by Acetobacter xylinum (recently renamed Gluconacetobacter xylinum) in culture and constitutes of a three-dimensional network of… Expand

Influence of filler size on the properties of poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/graphene nanoplatelet (GNP) nanocomposites
Abstract Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) composites reinforced with two types of graphite nanoplatelets varying in lateral size - small (GNP-S) and large (GNP-L) - were produced via melt compounding.… Expand

Bacterial cellulose–poly(vinyl alcohol) nanocomposites prepared by an in-situ process
Bio-nanocomposites were prepared by an in-situ growth process through the direct addition of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) into the Acetobacter xylinum inoculated medium and compared with composites made… Expand
