Preparations of bacterial cellulose reinforced chitosan hydrogels and their properties
Using chitosan(CH)and bacterial cellulose(BC)as raw materials,four experimental schemes are designed through chemical crosslinking process to study the effects of four different concentrations of bacterial cellulose on the crosslinking degree,swelling degree,antibacterial property and other properties of composite hydrogel materials.The results show that bacterial cellulose could improve the crosslinking and strength of chitosan hydrogels.BC/CH hydrogels have good pH sensitivity and high crosslinking degree.The antibacterial experiment shows that BC/CH hydrogels have good antibacterial properties.
