Abstract

Without any chemical agent, gold nanosheets (AuNSs) were controllable synthesized through a facile photo-induced reduction within bacterial cellulose (BC) biopolymers. Compared with traditional polymers, AuNSs modified BC biopolymers (AuNSs@BC) biopolymers exhibited similar levels of softness, ductility, and better tensile strength. The in situ constructing of AuNSs@BC biopolymers was demonstrated to provide great reusability and antibacterial activities and towards both of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli). The optimized AuNSs@BC biopolymers remain at least 95% antibacterial activities after three cycles. The facile and shape-controlled synthesis of AuNSs@BC biopolymers is believed to be useful for the design and application of biomass-based medical dressing.
