Journal ArticleDOI
Active wound dressings based on bacterial nanocellulose as drug delivery system for octenidine
Sebastian Moritz,Cornelia Wiegand,Falko Wesarg,Nadine Hessler,Frank A. Müller,Dana Kralisch,Uta-Christina Hipler,Dagmar Fischer +7 more
TL;DR: Octenidine loaded BNC presents a ready-to-use wound dressing for the treatment of infected wounds that can be stored over 6 months without losing its antibacterial activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Biopolymer Bacterial Nanocellulose as Drug Delivery System: Investigation of Drug Loading and Release using the Model Protein Albumin
Astrid Müller,Zhixu Ni,Nadine Hessler,Falko Wesarg,Frank A. Müller,Dana Kralisch,Dagmar Fischer +6 more
TL;DR: Hydrophilicity, high biocompatibility, and controllable drug loading and release render BNC an innovative and attractive biopolymer for controlled drug delivery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimicrobial porous hybrids consisting of bacterial nanocellulose and silver nanoparticles
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented an innovative method to prepare porous hybrid consisting of bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) based on fairly simple chemical reactions already described for two-dimensional cellulose films.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanocellulose Polymer Composites as Innovative Pool for (Bio)Material Development
Friederike Kramer,Dieter Klemm,Dieter Schumann,Nadine Heßler,Falko Wesarg,Wolfgang Fried,Dietmar Stadermann +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a never-dried procedure to shape bacterial nanocellulose (BC, 1% cellulose, 99% water) by the formation of BC-polymer composites, which were photopolymerized inside an ethanol-swollen nanofiber network.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimicrobial functionalization of bacterial nanocellulose by loading with polihexanide and povidone-iodine
Cornelia Wiegand,Sebastian Moritz,Nadine Hessler,Dana Kralisch,Falko Wesarg,Frank Müller,Dagmar Fischer,Uta-Christina Hipler +7 more
TL;DR: Bacterial nanocellulose was functionalized with the antiseptics povidone-iodine and polihexanide to demonstrate high biocompatibility of PI-loaded BNC in human keratinocytes but a distinctly lower antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus compared to PHMB- loaded BNC.
