The fabrication of antibacterial composite from bacterial cellulose and betel leaves

Wound healing was a complicated process that needs to be take care from infection and inflammation. Infection that occurs on wound will slow down the healing process. Therefore the objectives of this research were to produce antibacterial biocomposite from bacterial cellulose with betel leaves. The...

Infection that occurs on wound will slow down the healing process. Therefore the objectives of this research were to produce antibacterial biocomposite from bacterial cellulose with betel leaves.
