Characterization and antimicrobial properties of ferulic acid grafted self‐assembled bacterial cellulose‐chitosan membranes

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a biomaterial with many excellent properties, but its application as a food packaging and biomedical material is limited due to its lack of antibacterial properties. In this study, ferulic acid (FA) grafted self‐assembled bacterial cellulose‐chitosan (BCF) membranes were prepared by soaking BC films in chitosan‐ferulic acid (CF) solution to synthesize antibacterial biomaterials. 1 H NMR confirmed that FA grafted onto...
