 Bacterial cellulose and gelatin were combined to create a hydrogel composite material with excellent properties. SEM images revealed that the bacterial cellulose chains were uniform in size and shape while gluteraldehyde was used as a crosslinking agent to form H-bonded connections between the amines and hydroxyls on the two polymers. This resulted in a hydrogel with high thermal stability, chemical resistance, and mechanical strength. Additionally, the hydrogel swelling ratio in water was estimated to be 400 to 600%, making it a promising candidate for drug delivery applications. This article was authored by W.
