Nanjing Tianlu Nano Technology Co., Ltd. Technology Column

In the context of the accelerated integration of new materials and green manufacturing around the world, Bacterial Cellulose BC is a nano - scale functional material synthesized by microorganisms. Due to its high purity, high strength and excellent biocompatibility, it is widely used in food, medical, biomaterials and environmental protection fields. Relying on years of experience in nanocellulose research and development and application, Nanjing Tianlu Nano Technology Co., Ltd. is committed to the large-scale preparation and customized development of bacterial cellulose, providing customers in various industries with green and sustainable material solutions.

1. What is bacterial cellulose

Bacterial cellulose is a natural polymer material synthesized by specific bacteria (such as Gluconacetobacter xylinus ) under specific nutritional conditions . Its basic structure is β-1,4- glucan, the same as plant cellulose, but with higher purity and finer fiber size.

Compared with plant cellulose, bacterial cellulose does not contain lignin and hemicellulose, and has a more regular structure. The diameter is usually between 20 and 100 nanometers, which can form a three-dimensional network-like gel structure , which provides it with natural advantages in biomedical and high-performance membrane materials.

2. Core performance advantages

The developed by Nanjing Tianlu Nano Technology Co., Ltd. bacterial cellulose products have the following significant performances:

1. High purity and biofriendliness

No high-energy demissing process is required to achieve a cellulose purity of >99% , meeting the food and medical grade usage standards. Passed GB and FDA food contact safety specifications.

2. Super hydration capacity and three-dimensional network

Bacterial cellulose forms a three-dimensional porous structure in situ, which can lock water more than 100twice its own weight, and is widely used in moisturizing films, medical dressings, and active material loading platforms.

3. Good mechanical strength and transparency

The dry film has a tensile strength of up to 200 MPa while maintaining good flexibility and transparency. It is a high-quality choice for high-end composite materials and wearable substrates.

4. Easy to functionally modify

The rich surface hydroxyl groups support a variety of chemical modification processes, such as antibacterial, conductive, and temperature-sensitive modification, expanding the possibilities of smart materials and sustainable electronic devices.

3. Comprehensive expansion of application areas

Nanjing Tianlu Nano Technology Co., Ltd. is promoting the industrialization of bacterial cellulose in the following directions:

Application direction

Sample Products

Medical Health

Burn dressings, moist artificial skin, surgical hemostatic membrane, drug guidance platform

Food Industry

4. Nanjing Tianlu’s technology and solutions

As one of the earliest enterprises in China to enter the research and development of nanocellulose, Nanjing Tianlu Nano Technology Co., Ltd. has built a one-stop BC material preparation platform from bacterial strain optimization, nutrition system ratio, static / dynamic fermentation processes to gel drying, membrane preparation, and functional compounding .

✅Support multi-form output: original gel, dry film, freeze-dried powder

✅Customizable physical parameters: thickness, water retention rate, pore size structure

✅Provided material inspection report: Comply with GB/T ISO FDA standards

✅Assist customers in formula integration, terminal product development and packaging and shape

5. Conclusion: Reshaping a piece of material ecology in the future 'biological puzzle'

Bacterial cellulose is not a new material, but a sustainable technology that is reactivated . It has both natural sources, engineering adaptability and biosafety, and is an ideal platform material for high-end applications such as next-generation biomaterials, flexible electronics, and healthy packaging. Nanjing Tianlu Nano Technology Co., Ltd. will continue to deepen its efforts in bacterial cellulose technology to help more companies achieve green material transformation and leap in product value.


Nanjing Tianlu Nano Technology Co., Ltd. is located in Nanjing, the beautiful ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. It specializes in the production, research and development and sales of emerging materials nanocellulose.
