Abstract
Cellulose nanostructures obtained from bacterial sources can be a valuable nanomaterial for biomedical and food applications. In this work the alternatives of cellulose nanoribbons produced by a Colombian-isolated species called Komagataeibacter medellinensis (Gluconacetobacter medellinensis) as potential additive for developed composites are explored. In this case, several agro-industrial residues such as pineapple peel juice or sugar cane juice were used such as culture media. Different materials were produced using in situ fermentation process throughout biosynthesis of cellulose nanoribbons, solvent casting technique, or inclusion during polymerization process. Different mechanical and physical properties as well as biomedical and environmental tests were evaluated. Results indicate that the incorporation of cellulose nanoribbons can improve mechanical and thermal properties of nanocomposites with respect to neat matrices. Environmental tests suggest that these materials are promising candidates in the development of biomedical devices or food ingredients.
