Fabrication of bacterial cellulose, chitosan and essential oil biocomposite for antimicrobial effect

Chronic wounds represent a significant burden to patients, health care professionals and the health care system. Therefore healing process is very important to avoid inflammation to the wound area. The objectives of this study were to produce biocomposite film from bacterial cellulose, chitosan and...
