Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a popular biomaterial which is used in innovative research in many fields thanks to its unique properties. In this study, BC as bio nonwoven structures are produced in Kombucha culture using ‘acetobacter xylinum’ bacteria in a static culture setting. Bio nonwoven surfaces are produced with the sandwich composite model. They use 15-25-60% cotton/ viscose/ polypropylene nonwoven surface fabric and 80-20% polypropylene /viscose nonwoven surface fabric while creating bio nonwoven surfaces. Water retention, porosity, dust retention, FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometer), SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope), and TGA (Thermogravimetric Analysis) analysis of the obtained BC structures are investigated. As a result of the analysis, it is determined that the BC and BC composite structures, which have undergone hydrogen peroxide and sodium hydroxide applications, have properties that can be used for medical purposes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
