Synthesis of Acetobacter xylinum Bacterial Cellulose Aerogels and Their Effect on the Selected Properties

Original language description

Bacterial cellulose (BC) synthesized by Acetobacter xylinum has gained significant attention due to its unique structural and functional properties. This study focuses on the simple, facile, and cost-effective synthesis of bacterial cellulose films from Acetobacter xylinum and evaluates their impact on selected properties. The BC films were prepared through a series of controlled fermentation, purification, and drying processes, optimizing their porosity and structural integrity with different stabilization forms (the BC films supported by polyester nonwoven (PES NW) fabric) by a static culture method keeping with the sustainability. The selected properties like density, porosity, surface roughness, thermal conductivity, and the wetting properties of surfaces are tested. These properties were chosen because they significantly impact the performance of BC aerogels in the potential application of aerogels in biomedical, insulation, and filtration industries. The results indicated that the synthesized BC aerogels exhibit a highly porous network, lightweight structure, and excellent thermal conductivity, making them suitable for advanced material applications. This research highlights the potential of bacterial cellulose aerogels as sustainable (without any additives/chemicals) and high-performance materials, paving the way for further advancements in bio-based aerogels.
