Research Progress of Functionalized Bacterial Cellulose and Its Application in Wound Dressing
Bacterial cellulose is usually used to prepare antibacterial,self-healing,injectable,and proliferative wound dressings due to its biodegrad-ability,high crystallinity,and the adjustable nature of biosynthesis.However,bacterial cellulose needs to further be multi-functionalized in order to improve its antibacterial,self-healing,hemostatic,and myogenic abilities.The structure,biosynthetic principles,and preparation methods of bacte-rial cellulose were summarized in this paper.A comparative analysis was conducted on the functionalization modification technologies and principles of bacterial cellulose,including chemical,physical,and biological modifications.The application of functionalized bacterial cellulose was dissected in wound dressings,and the development of its application in wound dressing was also prospected.
