Synthesis and Characterization of Bacterial Cellulose/Calcium Silicate Composites

Article Preview

Abstract:

A novel composites material consisting of calcium silicate deposited in bacterial cellulose membrane was synthesized by immersing BC membrane in the calcium and silicate solutions by turns with different cycle times and characterized. The results indicated that the CaSiO3 particles were homogeneously dispersed on the surface of nanofibers with the effect of BC template when two cycles of soaking proceed, during which the fabrication of most CaSiO3 particles took place. The FT-IR reveals the strong interaction between the two parts of the BC/CaSiO3 composite. The XRD pattern demonstrated a crystal structure disruption of the cellulose aroused by CaSiO3 particle. BC/ CaSiO3 is considered to have a potential application in bone tissue field.
