Abstract

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is an eco-friendly material with a unique structure and physiochemical properties that can be used in wider areas. Nanocomposites based on BC show superior mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties compared to BC in its pure form. This review explores the various nanomaterials used in BC composites and their effects on overall performance, focusing on the electrical conductivity of the nanocomposites. The work also covers the fabrication and synthesis procedures used to produce BC nanocomposites with improved properties. The BC-based nanocomposites are used in various industries that include biomedical, chemical, electrical, mechanical, pharmaceutical and so on.. This comprehensive review paper provides valuable insights into BC-based nanocomposites and their promising prospects as advanced materials in various applications.
