Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for producing bacterially synthesized cellulose (BC) non-woven as well as to BC non-woven produced by the method and uses of such BC non-woven. The present invention also relates to an apparatus for production of the BC non-woven. Preferably, the bacterially synthesized cellulose (BC) of the present invention is biotechnologically produced nano-structured cellulose (BNC).
Claims19
Bacterially synthesized cellulose (BC) non-woven characterized by the standard deviation of WAC (water absorption capacity) and/or WRC (water retention capacity) being at most 15% of the corresponding mean value of WAC or WRC, respectively, wherein mean value and standard deviation are determined from at most 25 independent measured values and wherein the independent measured values are obtained by cutting essentially equally sized samples of 2 cm×2 cm from the BC non-woven and determining the WAC and/or WRC value for each sample independently, and wherein the tensile strength of the BC non-woven is more than 100 MPa.
