Conformal Bacterial Cellulose Coatings as Lubricious Surfaces by RÃ1⁄4hs, Patrick A.; Malollari, Katerina G.; Binelli, Marco R.; Crockett, Rowena; Balkenende, Diederik W. R.; Studart, André R.; Messersmith, Phillip B. is a Engineering article available to read on EtoBox.
What is Conformal Bacterial Cellulose Coatings as Lubricious Surfaces about?
We report a versatile method to form bacterial cellulose coatings through simple dip-coating of 3D objects in suspensions of cellulose-producing bacteria. The adhesion of cellulose-secreting bacteria on objects was promoted through surface roughness and chemistry. Immobilized bacteria secreted highly porous hydrogels with high water content directly from the surface of a variety of materials. The out-of-plane orientation of cellulose fibers present in this coating leads to high mechanical stability and energy dissipation with minimal cellulose concentration. The conformal, biocompatible, and lubricious nature of the grown cellulose surfaces makes the coated 3D objects attractive for biomedical applications.
