Synthesis of Bacterial Cellulose-Graphene Nanocomposite and Improvement of its Mechanical and Electrical Properties

Bacterial cellulose attracted scientific interests for its unique properties. In this paper, graphene is used to enhance this natural polymer property. SEM analysis demonstrated GO nanosheets were uniformly dispersed in the BC matrix. BC/GO Young’s modulus and tensile strength were improved 40% and 60%. Electrical resistance of BC/rGO showed a decrease by two orders of magnitude compared to BC.
