“…Nakayama et al (2004) for the first time reported cellulose-polymer nanocomposite hydrogels composed of bacterial cellulose (BC) and gelatin. Bacterial cellulose is biosynthesized by microorganisms, and displays unique properties, including high mechanical strength, high water absorption capacity, high crystallinity, and an ultra-fine and highly pure fiber (10-100 nm) network structure (Vandamme et al, 1998). By immersing BC gel in aqueous gelatin solution followed by cross-linking with N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N'-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride, high mechanical strength doublenetwork (DN) nanocomposite hydrogels were prepared.…”

“…To be one excellent material for industrial application, BC especially showed great potential as water adsorbent for its great capacity for water absorption [9,10]. However, because of its poor dissolution properties and processing difficulties, BC's application as water adsorbent for water conservation is still limited [9,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17].…”

“…However, because of its poor dissolution properties and processing difficulties, BC's application as water adsorbent for water conservation is still limited [9,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. Usually, BC modification could be done with some physical or chemical methods to enhance its performance [18][19][20][21].…”

“…The acetic acid was broken down to carbon dioxide and water which allow more energy generated by bacteria. Thus, leading to more efficient utilization of sugars for cellulose synthesis [13].…”
