A commercial bacterial cellulose-monolaurin wound dressing was investigated for changes
in the chemical structure, mechanical strength, thermal degradation, morphology, and …

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a natural polysaccharide produced by some bacteria, and
consists of a linear polymer linked by β-(1, 4) glycosidic bonds. BC has been developed as a …

The effect of gamma-irradiation on bacterial cellulose (BC) was investigated in terms of
improving its properties as scaffolds for tissue engineering. BC pellicles were exposed to 25 …

Polysaccharides are carbohydrate polymers in which monosaccharide ((CH 2 O) n) units are
covalently joined by an O-glycosidic bond in either a linear or branched configuration …

Ionizing radiation, such as gamma rays and electron beams, is very effective for sterilizing
medical devices. However, the radiation-sterilization process may have an impact on the …
