Synthesis of Acetobacter xylinum Bacterial Cellulose Aerogels and Their Effect on the Selected Properties

Scientists created a special lightweight foam-like material made from bacterial cellulose that could be used in wound dressings, insulation, and water filtration. The material was made sustainably using just tea, sugar, and bacteria—no harmful chemicals needed. Different freezing methods were tested to create the best possible structure, with liquid nitrogen freezing producing the most porous and uniform results. The material showed excellent insulation properties and is biodegradable, making it an environmentally friendly alternative to synthetic foams.

Effect of AgNPs on PLA-Based Biocomposites with Polysaccharides: Biodegradability, Antibacterial Activity and Features

Scientists created new eco-friendly plastic films made from corn-based PLA combined with natural starches and tiny silver particles. These films can break down in soil while also killing harmful bacteria, making them ideal for food packaging. The materials maintained good antibacterial properties even as they slowly degraded in the environment, showing promise as sustainable alternatives to conventional plastics.
