Balancing mechanical property and swelling behavior of bacterial cellulose film by in-situ adding chitosan oligosaccharide and covalent crosslinking with γ-PGA. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 267:131280. [PMID: 38640644 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131280] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2023] [Revised: 03/23/2024] [Accepted: 03/29/2024] [Indexed: 04/21/2024]
Abstract
Bacterial cellulose (BC) is an ideal candidate material for drug delivery, but the disbalance between the swelling behavior and mechanical properties limits its application. In this work, covalent crosslinking of γ-polyglutamic acid (γ-PGA) with the chitosan oligosaccharide (COS) embedded in BC was designed to remove the limitation. As a result, the dosage, time, and batch of COS addition significantly affected the mechanical properties and the yield of bacterial cellulose complex film (BCCF). The addition of 2.25 % COS at the incubation time of 0.5, 1.5, and 2 d increased the Young's modulus and the yield by 5.65 and 1.42 times, respectively, but decreased the swelling behavior to 1774 %, 46 % of that of native BC. Covalent γ-PGA transformed the dendritic structure of BCCF into a spider network, decreasing the porosity and increasing the swelling behavior by 3.46 times. The strategy balanced the swelling behavior and mechanical properties through tunning hydrogen bond, electrostatic interaction, and amido bond. The modified BCCF exhibited a desired behavior of benzalkonium chlorides transport, competent for drug delivery. Thereby, the strategy will be a competent candidate to modify BC for such potential applications as wound dressing, artificial skin, scar-inhibiting patch, and so on.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 260:129552.

Abstract
Bacterial cellulose (BC), a nanostructured material, is renowned for its excellent properties. However, its production by bacteria is costly due to low medium utilization and conversion rates. To enhance the yield of BC, this study aimed to increase BC yield through genetic modification, specifically by overexpressing bcsC and bcsD in Gluconacetobacter xylinus, and by developing a modified culture method to reduce medium viscosity by adding water during fermentation. As a result, BC yields of 5.4, 6.2, and 6.8 g/L were achieved from strains overexpressing genes bcsC, bcsD, and bcsCD, significantly surpassing the yield of 2.2 g/L from wild-type (WT) strains. In the modified culture, the BC yields of all four strains increased by >1 g/L with the addition of 20 mL of water during fermentation. Upon comparing the properties of BC, minimal differences were observed between the WT and pbcsC strains, as well as between the static and modified cultures. In contrast, BC produced by strains overexpressing bcsD had a denser microstructural network and exhibited demonstrated higher tensile strength and elongation-to-break. Compared to WT, BC from bcsD overexpressed strains also displayed enhanced crystallinity, higher degree of polymerization and improved thermal stability.

Abstract
Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a biomaterial being investigated for a range of applications. Herein, BC films derived from nata de coco pieces are reinforced by two-dimensional molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) and helical carbon nanotubes (HCNTs) to enhance their tensile mechanical properties, and the biocompatibility of the BC composite films is demonstrated. A simple preparation is presented using a kitchen blender to disperse and blend the BC fibers and additives in a common fabrication medium, followed by vacuum filtration. The mechanical properties of the BC/MoS2/HCNTs composite films are enhanced due to the synergistic effect of MoS2 and HCNTs embedded in the BC films. The MoS2/HCNTs binary additive (1 phr) is capable of increasing the strength and Young's modulus by 148 % and 333 %, respectively, relative to the BC films. The cell cytotoxicity of the BC/MoS2/HCNTs films was assessed using an MTT assay. The composite films are biocompatible with a cell viability of L929 fibroblast cells >70 %, coupled with observations of direct cell attachment on the films. The composite films also exhibited good performance in absorbing and releasing gentamicin antibiotics to inhibit the growth of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The BC/MoS2/HCNTs films are thus potential BC-based candidates as biocompatible robust antibiotic carriers.

Abstract
Interface solar water evaporation is a mean of rapidly evaporating water using solar energy. However, it is still a challenge to obtain solar evaporators with simple assembly, durability and high photothermal performance. Here, we demonstrated an effective post foaming strategy for treating nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide/bacterial cellulose film (F-NRGO@BC) prepared by a simple in situ culture method. The composite film contains hierarchical porous structure and bubbles on the film, achieving an integrated self-floating interface evaporator with excellent light absorption (96.5 %) and high toughness (200.18 kJ m-3). Porous structure and low enthalpy of F-NRGO@BC make a high evaporation rate of 1.68 kg m-2 h-1 and a low thermal conductivity of 0.644 W m-1 K-1 to ensure effective energy efficiency and heat insulation. This design of controlling surface morphology and internal structure provides a novel way for large-scale preparation and high-performance evaporator.

Abstract
Constructing natural polymers such as cellulose, chitin, and chitosan into hydrogels with excellent stretchability and self-healing properties can greatly expand their applications but remains very challenging. Generally, the polysaccharide-based hydrogels have suffered from the trade-off between stiffness of the polysaccharide and stretchability due to the inherent nature. Thus, polysaccharide-based hydrogels (polysaccharides act as the matrix) with self-healing properties and excellent stretchability are scarcely reported. Here, a solvent-assisted strategy was developed to construct MXene-mediated cellulose conductive hydrogels with excellent stretchability (∼5300%) and self-healability. MXene (an emerging two-dimensional nanomaterial) was introduced as emerging noncovalent cross-linking sites between the solvated cellulose chains in a benzyltrimethylammonium hydroxide aqueous solution. The electrostatic interaction between the cellulose chains and terminal functional groups (O, OH, F) of MXene led to cross-linking of the cellulose chains by MXene to form a hydrogel. Due to the excellent properties of the cellulose-MXene conductive hydrogel, the work not only enabled their strong potential in both fields of electronic skins and energy storage but provided fresh ideas for some other stubborn polymers such as chitin to prepare hydrogels with excellent properties.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The pervasive presence of plastic packaging has led to significant environmental contamination due to excessive reliance on petrochemicals and the inherent non-biodegradability of these materials. Bacterial cellulose (BC) films present a viable alternative for food packaging applications, owing to their environmentally friendly synthesis process, non-toxic nature, robust mechanical strength, and biodegradability. However, the high hygroscopicity of such bio-based materials has limited their widespread adoption, as it results in diminished strength and barrier properties. In this study, a novel approach for creating edible, transparent, robust, and high-barrier BC-based composite packaging was proposed through biosynthesis with the incorporation of soy protein isolate and the physical interpenetration of calcium alginate-polyethylene glycol as a composite coating. RESULTS The finding demonstrated that the synthesized bio-based composite material exhibits stability in water, high optical transparency, complete oil resistance, and full degradability within 1 to 2 months. Furthermore, the composite material displayed enhanced mechanical properties in both dry and wet conditions, with a tensile strength of approximately 84 MPa, outperforming commercially available kraft paper and low-density polyethylene. CONCLUSIONS Soy protein isolate established a rigid, coherent, and homogeneous network with BC fibrils, thereby augmenting mechanical properties. Calcium alginate can be effectively combined with BC, utilizing polyethylene glycol as a binder and plasticizer, to generate a densely packed structure with reduced hygroscopicity. This bio-based composite material demonstrated considerable potential for application in food packaging and other value-added sectors as a substitute for non-degradable plastics. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a chemically pure, non-toxic, and non-pyrogenic natural polymer with high mechanical strength and a complex fibrillar porous structure. Due to these unique biological and physical properties, BC has been amply used in the food industry and, to a somewhat lesser extent, in medicine and cosmetology. To expand its application the BC structure can be modified. This review presented some recent developments in electrically conductive BC-based composites. The as-synthesized BC is an excellent dielectric. Conductive polymers, graphene oxide, nanoparticles and other materials are used to provide it with conductive properties. Conductive bacterial cellulose (CBC) is currently investigated in numerous areas including electrically conductive scaffolds for tissue regeneration, implantable and wearable biointerfaces, flexible batteries, sensors, EMI shielding composites. However, there are several issues to be addressed before CBC composites can enter the market, namely, composite mechanical strength reduction, porosity decrease, change in chemical characteristics. Some of them can be addressed both at the stage of synthesis, biologically, or by adding (nano)materials with the required properties to the BC structure. We propose several solutions to meet the challenges and suggest some promising BC applications.

Abstract
This paper presents the results of research on the preparation and properties of GO/BC nanocomposite from bacterial cellulose (BC) modified with graphene oxide (GO) using the in situ method. Two bacterial strains were used for the biosynthesis of the BC: Komagataeibacter intermedius LMG 18909 and Komagataeibacter sucrofermentans LMG 18788. A simple biosynthesis method was developed, where GO water dispersion was added to reinforced acetic acid-ethanol (RAE) medium at concentrations of 10 ppm, 25 ppm, and 50 ppm at 24 h and 48 h intervals. As a result, a GO/BC nanocomposite membrane was obtained, characterized by tensile strength greater by 150% as compared with the pure BC (̴ 50 MPa) and lower volume resistivity of ~4 ∙ 109 Ω × cm. Moreover, GO addition increases membrane thickness up to ~10% and affects higher mass production, especially with low GO concentration. All of this may indicate the possibility of using GO/BC membranes in fuel cell applications.

Abstract
Polysaccharides synthesized by microorganisms (bacterial cellulose, dextran, pullulan, xanthan, etc.) have a set of valuable properties, such as being antioxidants, detoxifying, structuring, being biodegradable, etc., which makes them suitable for a variety of applications. Biocatalysts are the key substances used in producing such polysaccharides; therefore, modern research is focused on the composition and properties of biocatalysts. Biocatalysts determine the possible range of renewable raw materials which can be used as substrates for such synthesis, as well as the biochemistry of the process and the rate of molecular transformations. New biocatalysts are being developed for participating in a widening range of stages of raw material processing. The functioning of biocatalysts can be optimized using the following main approaches of synthetic biology: the use of recombinant biocatalysts, the creation of artificial consortia, the combination of nano- and microbiocatalysts, and their immobilization. New biocatalysts can help expand the variety of the polysaccharides’ useful properties. This review presents recent results and achievements in this field of biocatalysis.

Abstract
Zinc-air batteries using gels as carriers for electrolyte absorption have attracted extensive attention due to their flexibility, deformability, and high specific capacity. However, traditional mono-polymer gel electrolytes display poor mechanical properties and low ionic conductivity at wide-window temperatures. Here, the enhanced gel polymer (PAM-F/G) modified by dual surfactants is present by way of pluronic F127 and layered graphene oxide introduced into the polyacrylamide (PAM) matrix. The gel electrolyte procured by absorbing 6 M KOH exhibits improved mechanical characteristics, temperature adaptability, and a satisfactory ionic conductivity (276 mS cm-1). The results demonstrate that a flexible zinc-air battery assembled by PAM-F/G electrolyte outputs a high power density (155 mW cm-2) and can even operate reliably (>40 h) at -20 °C. These findings are available for promoting the research and popularization of flexible zinc-air batteries with high performance.

Strong and robust cellulose-based enzymatic membrane with gradient porous structure in dynamically catalytic removal of sulfonamides antibiotics. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 439:129676.

Abstract
Enzyme membrane systems (EMS) have generated considerable interest because of their advantages of accelerating reactions, eliminating product inhibition, and enhancing conversion rates. However, there are deficiencies in the efficient fabrication of affinity carrier membranes and dynamic catalytic separation properties. Herein, a strong and highly flexible spunlaced viscose/bacterial cellulose (BC) composite membrane in situ embedded with graphene oxide (GO) was developed by combining a scalable bio-synthesis method with atom transfer radical polymerization technology. Notably, the layer-by-layer growth of BC on composite film and the addition of GO resulted in an entangled network with strong hydrogen bonding, endowing the resulting membrane with superior mechanical properties and flexibility, while facilitating a gradient structure and porous transport channels. Subsequently, a novel and highly efficient EMS was constructed by using abundant molecular brushes on composite membrane as immobilized enzyme carrier. The resulting EMS exhibited a high throughput (2.17 L/min*m2) and an interception rate (98.64%) in dynamic catalytic sulfonamide antibiotic wastewater activated with syringaldehyde mediator. Meanwhile, the removal rates of sulphapyridine and sulfamethazine were 97.20% and 94.78% under 0.14 MPa and 15 min, respectively. This efficient and scalable manufacturing strategy is of great significance and may pave a novel pathway for antibiotics wastewater treatment and recycling.

Abstract
This paper presents a simple method of obtaining a bacterial cellulose (BC) composite with the addition of graphene oxide (GO) using an in situ method and studies the influence of GO nanoparticles on the structure and properties of the obtained membranes. Microorganisms obtained from Golden Delicious apple vinegar were used to obtain the BC. During the biosynthesis, GO was introduced in the amounts of 3.7, 5.4 and 7.1% w/w. The resulting BC/GO composite was characterized by high water content (~400%), a thickness of about 1.1 mm (in wet form) and a cellulose nanofiber diameter of ~100 nm. The possibility of using the resulting composite membranes as potential active dressings with the sustained-release analgesic medicine—paracetamol—was investigated. The BC/GO composite membranes were characterized by a medicine sorption of 60 mg/g of BC, a slow desorption time, a constant medicine concentration over time and an 80% paracetamol release rate after 24 h. The morphology of membrane surfaces and cross-sections were examined by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray structure studies (WAXS) as well as thermal analysis (TGA) demonstrated the presence of GO in the BC matrix and interactions between the matrix and the additive.

Abstract
Biomineralization of natural polymers in simulated body fluid (SBF) can significantly improve its biocompatibility, osteoconductivity, and osteoinductivity because of the hydroxyapatite (HAp) deposition. Nevertheless, the superficial HAp crystal deposition hamper the deep inorganic ions exchange in porous microgels, thus gradually leading to a nonuniform regeneration effect. Inspired by the pearl forming process, this article uses the microarray chips to fabricate the multi-layer mineralized graphene oxide (GO)-collagen (Col)-hydroxyapatite (HAp) microgel, denoted as MMGCH. These fabricated MMGCH microgels exhibit porous structure and uniform HAp distribution. Furthermore, the suitable microenvironment offered by microgel promotes the time-dependent proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of stem cells, which resulted in upregulated osteogenesis-related genes and proteins, such as alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin, and collagen-1. Finally, the MMGCH microgels possess favorable bone regeneration capacities both in cranial bone defects and mandibular bone defects via providing a suitable microenvironment for host-derived cells to form new bone tissues. This work presents a biomimetic means aiming to achieve full-thickness and uniform HAp deposition in hydrogel for bone defect repair.

Abstract
Development of lightweight structural materials from fast-growing bamboos is of great significance to building a sustainable society. However, previously developed structural bamboos by delignification combined with densification would easily fail under large external loading after exposure to water due to structure collapse, severely limiting their practical applications. Here, we demonstrate an ultrastrong and exceptional environmentally stable bamboo composite consisting of a graphene oxide (GO)/bamboo core and hierarchical SiO2 protection layer. The GO/bamboo composite exhibits ultrahigh tensile strength (641.6 MPa), superb flexural strength (428.4 MPa), and excellent toughness (17.5 MJ/m3), which are increased by about 480, 250, and 360% compared with natural bamboo, respectively. As a result, the specific tensile strength of the GO/bamboo composite is up to 513.3 MPa·cm3/g due to its low density (1.25 g/cm3), outperforming engineering structural materials such as aluminum alloys, steels, and titanium alloys. These large improvements benefit from the well-preserved bamboo scaffold and the strong hydrogen bonds between bamboo fibers and GO nanosheets. On the other hand, the SiO2@GO/bamboo composite shows superhydrophobicity due to the construction of hierarchical SiO2 layers, which endows it with outstanding water resistance. Moreover, the bamboo composite shows an ultralow coefficient of thermal expansion (≈2.3 × 10-6 K-1), indicating its excellent dimensional stability. Considering the ultrahigh mechanical performance and outstanding environmental stability, the developed lightweight SiO2@GO/bamboo composite is hopeful to be a green and sustainable structural material for practical engineering applications.

Abstract
The low room temperature ionic conductivity (RTσ) of polyethylene oxide (PEO)-based solid-state polymer electrolyte (SPE) severely restricts its application for lithium batteries. Herein, acrylamide (AM) has been introduced into the poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate-poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (P-P). The multiple hydrogen bonds of AM expand the original single lithium environment (Li···O-C) to three types (Li···O-C, Li···N-H, and Li···O═C), which accelerates the conduction of lithium ions. In addition, the double bond modification of nanosilica (═SiO2) not only improves the mechanical properties but also brings a high-speed orderly vehicular transport mechanism. The multiple-lithium-ions environment is rearranged on the surface of the ═SiO2 to play a more significant role, making the RTσ of SPE reach 2.6 × 10-4 S cm-1, and the Li-ion transfer number reaches 0.84. The results show that the assembled all-solid-state lithium-sulfur battery has a high initial discharge capacity of 707 mAh g-1 at 30 °C when the sulfur loading is 4.3 mg cm-2, good cycle stability (capacity retention rate of 89% after 100 cycles at 0.1 C), and excellent rate performance. This SPE with high RTσ, stable interface engineering, and broad potential window (5.1 V) is expected to be used in other lithium/lithium-ion batteries that require high-voltage tolerance.

Abstract
This report summarizes efforts undertaken in the area of drug delivery, with a look at further efforts made in the area of bacterial cellulose (BC) biomedical applications in general. There are many current methodologies (past and present) for the creation of BC membrane composites custom-engineered with drug delivery functionality, with brief consideration for very close applications within the broader category of biomedicine. The most emphasis was placed on the crucial aspects that open the door to the possibility of drug delivery or the potential for use as drug carriers. Additionally, consideration has been given to laboratory explorations as well as already established BC-drug delivery systems (DDS) that are either on the market commercially or have been patented in anticipation of future commercialization. The cellulose producing strains, current synthesis and growth pathways, critical aspects and intrinsic morphological features of BC were given maximum consideration, among other crucial aspects of BC DDS.

Abstract
The purpose of the work was to obtain composites based on bionanocellulose (BNC) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) for specific biomedical and cosmetic applications and to determine how the method and conditions of their preparation affect their utility properties. Three different ways of manufacturing these composites (in-situ method and ex-situ methods combined with sterilization or impregnation) were presented. The structure and morphology of BNC/PVA composites were studied by ATR-FTIR spectroscopy and scanning microscopy (SEM, AFM). Surface properties were tested by contact angle measurements. The degree of crystallinity of the BNC fibrils was determined by means of the XRD method. The mechanical properties of the BNC/PVA films were examined using tensile tests and via the determination of their bursting strength. The water uptake of the obtained materials was determined through the gravimetric method. The results showed that PVA added to the nutrient medium caused an increase in biosynthesis yield. Moreover, an increase in base weight was observed in composites of all types due to the presence of PVA. The ex-situ composites revealed excellent water absorption capacity. The in-situ composites appeared to be the most durable and elastic materials.

Abstract
Human-made natural-fiber-based filaments are attractive for natural fiber-reinforced polymer (NFRP) composites. However, the composites' moisture distribution is critical, and humidity monitoring in the NFRP composites is essential to secure stability and keep their life span. In this research, high strength and humidity sensing filament was developed by blending cellulose nanofiber (CNF) and graphene oxide (GO), wet-spinning, coagulating, and drying, which can overcome the heterogeneous mechanical properties between embedded-type humidity sensors and NFRP composites. The stabilized synthesis process of the CNF-GO hybrid filament demonstrated the maximum Young's modulus of 23.9 GPa and the maximum tensile strength of 439.4 MPa. Furthermore, the achieved properties were successfully transferred to a continuous fabrication process with an additional stretching process. Furthermore, its humidity sensing behavior is shown by resistivity changes in various temperature and humidity levels. Therefore, this hybrid filament has excellent potential for in-situ humidity monitoring by embedding in smart wearable devices, natural fiber-reinforced polymer composites, and environmental sensing devices.

Abstract
A carbon dot/polyacrylamide (CDs/PAM) composite hydrogel film with stable fluorescence performance was fabricated by merging a hydrogel film and carbon dots (CDs) with blue fluorescence, which were prepared by hydrothermal synthesis using anhydrous citric acid and acrylamide as carbon sources. The obtained CDs/PAM composite hydrogel film exhibited a good fluorescence quenching effect on ornidazole (ONZ), and can be used for the quantitative detection of ONZ. In the ONZ concentration range of 5-60 μM, a good linear relationship between the fluorescence quenching efficiency of the CDs/PAM composite hydrogel film and the concentration of ONZ solution was obtained with a low detection limit of 2.35 μM. In addition, the detection system has good selectivity and strong anti-interference capacity, and can be used in repeated cycles for detection.

Abstract
Nutraceutical formulations based on probiotic microorganisms have gained significant attention over the past decade due to their beneficial properties on human health. Yeasts offer some advantages over other probiotic organisms, such as immunomodulatory properties, anticancer effects and effective suppression of pathogens. However, one of the main challenges for their oral administration is ensuring that cell viability remains high enough for a sustained therapeutic effect while avoiding possible substrate inhibition issues as they transit through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Here, we propose addressing these issues using a probiotic yeast encapsulation strategy, Kluyveromyces lactis, based on gelatin hydrogels doubly cross-linked with graphene oxide (GO) and glutaraldehyde to form highly resistant nanocomposite encapsulates. GO was selected here as a reinforcement agent due to its unique properties, including superior solubility and dispersibility in water and other solvents, high biocompatibility, antimicrobial activity, and response to electrical fields in its reduced form. Finally, GO has been reported to enhance the mechanical properties of several materials, including natural and synthetic polymers and ceramics. The synthesized GO-gelatin nanocomposite hydrogels were characterized in morphological, swelling, mechanical, thermal, and rheological properties and their ability to maintain probiotic cell viability. The obtained nanocomposites exhibited larger pore sizes for successful cell entrapment and proliferation, tunable degradation rates, pH-dependent swelling ratio, and higher mechanical stability and integrity in simulated GI media and during bioreactor operation. These results encourage us to consider the application of the obtained nanocomposites to not only formulate high-performance nutraceuticals but to extend it to tissue engineering, bioadhesives, smart coatings, controlled release systems, and bioproduction of highly added value metabolites.

Abstract
The human tissues most sensitive to electrical activity such as neural and muscle tissues are relatively soft, and yet traditional conductive materials used to interface with them are typically stiffer by many orders of magnitude. Overcoming this mismatch, by creating both very soft and electroactive materials, is a major challenge in bioelectronics and biomaterials science. One strategy is to imbue soft materials, such as hydrogels, with electroactive properties by adding small amounts of highly conductive nanomaterials. However, electroactive hydrogels reported to date have required relatively large volume fractions (>1%) of added nanomaterial, have shown only modest electroactivity, and have not been processable via additive manufacturing to create 3D architectures. Here, we describe the development and characterization of improved biocompatible photo-cross-linkable soft hybrid electroactive hydrogels based on gelatin methacryloyol (GelMA) and large area graphene oxide (GO) flakes, which resolve each of these three limitations. The addition of very small amounts (less than a 0.07% volume fraction) of GO to a 5% w/v GelMA hydrogel resulted in a dramatic (∼35-fold) decrease in the impedance at 1 Hz compared with GelMA alone. The GelMA/GO coated indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode also showed a considerable reduction in the impedance at 1 kHz (down to 170 Ω compared with 340 Ω for the GelMA-coated ITO), while charge injection capacity increased more than 6-fold. We attribute this enhanced electroactivity to the increased electroactive surface area contributed by the GO. Despite this dramatic change in electroactivity, the GelMA/GO composite hydrogels' mechanical properties were only moderately affected. Mechanical properties increased by ∼2-fold, and therefore, the hydrogels' desired softness of <4 kPa was retained. Also, we demonstrate how light attenuation through the gel can be used to create a stiffness gradient with the exposed surface of the gel having an elastic modulus of <1.5 kPa. GO addition also enhanced the rheological properties of the GelMA composites, thus facilitating 3D extrusion printing. GelMA/GO enhanced filament formation as well as improved printability and the shape fidelity/integrity of 3D printed structures compared with GelMA alone. Additionally, the GelMA/GO 3D printed structures presented a higher electroactive behavior than nonprinted samples containing the same GelMA/GO amount, which can be attributed to the higher electroactive surface area of 3D printed structures. These findings provide new rational choices of electroactive hydrogel (EAH) compositions with broad potential applications in bioelectronics, tissue engineering, and drug delivery.

Abstract
Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a promising material for new technologies, but the range of application is limited due to its hydrophilicity. This work aims to design a hydrophobic material derived from BC, which may find use in a broad range of applications such as packaging, sensing, construction, and electronics. We report that ultrasonic treatment of BC increased the degree of material impregnation into the fiber network that altered the hydrophobic properties of the BC-based composite films. Measurements in XTM revealed that sonication enhanced the porosity of BC films from 5.77% to 22.54%. Materials such as magnesium hydroxide (MH), graphene oxide (GO), and stearic acid (SA) were impregnated into the BC films. FTIR analysis and SEM-EDS confirmed the absorption of these molecules into the BC fibers. The water contact angle (WCA) of BC films impregnated with these functional materials showed a three to four-fold increase in hydrophobicity. The incorporation of 0.3% GO in sonicated BC afforded WCA at 137.20°, which is way better than the commercial water repellant (114.90°). The sonicated BC film afforded better tensile strength and Young's modulus, up to 229.67 MPa and 6.85 GPa, respectively. This work has shown that ultrasonic treatment improved the absorption capability of BC towards hydrophobic functionalization. Ultrasonic treatment of bacterial cellulose increased the degree of material impregnation such as graphene oxide into the fiber network that altered the hydrophobic properties of the BC-based composite films.![]()

Abstract
Bacterial cellulose (BC)/graphene oxide (GO) sphere-like hydrogels have been biosynthesized by in situ route in dynamic cultivation. The GO concentration during BC biosynthesis (0.01 and 0.05 mg mL-1) was the determining factor for the conformation of the final hydrogels: encapsulation (BC/GO 0.01) or distribution through all the body of the spheres (BC/GO 0.05). The as-prepared sphere hydrogels were characterized in terms of physico-chemical properties, thermal stability, microstructure, and swelling capacity in different media. In addition, a chemical treatment with ascorbic acid was performed in order to obtain reduced graphene oxide (rGO) into the spheres (BC/rGO). After the chemical treatment, electrostatic force microscopy (EFM) revealed electrical interactions due to the presence of rGO inside the spheres and resistivity values in the range of semiconductive materials were obtained (106 Ω·cm), making BC/rGO spheres promising for the development of electro-stimulated systems. The in vitro release study of ibuprofen (IB), showed that the reduction process led to an increase of 73 and 92% of drug release with respect to BC/GO 0.05 and BC/GO 0.01 spheres, respectively. Moreover, the encapsulation conformation showed more homogeneous porous structure and thus, a cumulative drug release of 63% was reached after 6 h.

Abstract
Biotech nanocellulose (bacterial nanocellulose, BNC) is a high potential natural polymer. Moreover, it is the only cellulose type that can be produced biotechnologically using microorganisms resulting in hydrogels with high purity, high mechanical strength and an interconnecting micropore system. Recently, the subject of intensive research is to influence this biosynthesis to create function-determining properties. This review reports on the progress in product design and today's state of technical and medical applications. A novel, dynamic, template-based technology, called Mobile Matrix Reservoir Technology (MMR Tech), is highlighted. Thereby, shape, dimensions, surface properties, and nanonetwork structures can be designed in a process-controlled manner. The formed multilayer materials open up new applications in medicine and technology. Especially medical materials for cardiovascular and visceral surgery, and drug delivery systems are developed. The effective production of layer-structured composites and coatings are important for potential applications in the electronics, paper, food and packaging technologies.

Abstract
Conductive polymers (CPs) are generally insoluble, and developing hydrophilic CPs is significant to broaden the applications of CPs. In this work, a mussel-inspired strategy was proposed to construct hydrophilic CP nanoparticles (CP NPs), while endowing the CP NPs with redox activity and biocompatibility. This is a universal strategy applicable for a series of CPs, including polyaniline, polypyrrole, and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene). The catechol/quinone contained sulfonated lignin (LS) was doped into various CPs to form CP/LS NPs with hydrophilicity, conductivity, and redox activity. These CP/LS NPs were used as versatile nanofillers to prepare the conductive hydrogels with long-term adhesiveness. The CP/LS NPs-incorporated hydrogels have a good conductivity because of the uniform distribution of the hydrophilic NPs in the hydrogel network, forming a well-connected electric path. The hydrogel exhibits long-term adhesiveness, which is attributed to the mussel-inspired dynamic redox balance of catechol/quinone groups on the CP/LS NPs. This conductive and adhesive hydrogel shows good electroactivity and biocompatibility and therefore has broad applications in electrostimulation of tissue regeneration and implantable bioelectronics.

Abstract
The emerging generation of flexible energy storage devices has accelerated the research pace in terms of new materials, new processing techniques, and new designs that can meet the demands of mechanical stability upon bending or stretching at an acceptable cost, without compromising their electrochemical performance. Among the materials currently explored, biomass-derived materials have received extensive attention, because they are renewable, low in cost, earth-abundant and structurally diverse. This review is focused on fundamentals and applications of the bio-derived material bacterial cellulose (BC) in flexible electrochemical energy storage systems. Specifically, recent advances are summarized in the utilization of BC in stretchable substrates, carbonaceous species, and scaffolds for flexible core component construction. Finally, several perspectives related to BC-based materials for flexible electrochemical energy storages are proposed, aiming to provide possible future research directions in these fields.

Abstract
Inspired by plant movements driven by the arrangement of cellulose, we have fabricated nanopapers of nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) showing actuation under pH changes. Bending was achieved by a concentration gradient of charged groups along the film thickness. Hence, the resulting nanopapers contained higher concentration of charged groups on one side of the film than on the opposite side, so that pH changes resulted in charge-dependent asymmetric deprotonation of the two layers. Electrostatic repulsions separate the nanofibers in the nanopaper, thus facilitating an asymmetric swelling and the subsequent expanding that results in bending. Nanofibrillated cellulose was modified by 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-yl)oxyl radical (TEMPO) oxidation at two reaction times to get different surface concentrations of carboxylic acid groups. TEMPO-oxidized NFC was further chemically transformed into amine-modified NFC by amidation. The formation of graded nanopapers was accomplished by successive filtration of NFC dispersions with varying charge nature and/or concentration. The extent of bending was controlled by the charge concentration and the nanopaper thickness. The direction of bending was tuned by the layer composition (carboxylic acid or amine groups). In all cases, a steady-state was achieved within less than 25 s. This work opens new routes for the use of cellulosic materials as actuators.

Abstract
Incorporating nanomaterials in living systems could force the latter to produce "bionicomposites". We report a review of the first attempts with such bionicomposites, e.g. showing how the control of the eating and dormant states of microorganisms can provide nano-architectures with novel mechanical and functional properties, and how introducing nanomaterials in the diets of animals producing silks (spiders or silkworms) leads to intrinsically reinforced fibers with strengths higher than those of their natural counterparts, as well as those of synthetic polymer fibers or carbon fiber-reinforced polymeric composites.
