Green flexible conducting paper from edible bacteria-derived 3D nanocellulose matrix and polyaniline
It is required that the material for these applications possess low density and a good mechanical integrity. Thus, a way to produce bacterial nanocellulose (BC) polyaniline (PANI) nanocomposites by in situ polymerization in the suspension of cellulose nanowhiskers has been shown here The BC/PANI composites formed by optimized synthesis of PANI within cellulose nanowhiskers possess good electrical conductivity in addition to its excellent mechanical properties and flexibility
Link: The advantages of using BC are its ultra network structure, sufficient porosity, high purity, and crystallinity
good mechanical properties, great water-holding capability, and low environmental impact
Problem Scale: Around The world
