Agarose is an abundant and biodegradable polymer with strength comparable or higher than other commonly used natural polymers. Agarose can be used for wound dressing and tissue engineering applications. Excessive water uptake and moderate strength limit its applicability for various applications. The objective of this study was to enhance its strength by reinforcing with bacterial cellulose. The addition...
We report chemical crosslinking of agarose bioplastic using citric acid. Crosslinking was confirmed using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The effects of crosslinking on the tensile strength, swelling, thermal stability, and degradability of the bioplastic were studied in detail. The tensile strength of the bioplastic films increased from 25.1MPa for control films up to a maximum of...
