In the context of the acceleration of the global 'double carbon' strategy and green manufacturing, bio-based materials are becoming the core direction to break resource constraints and reduce environmental pressure. Among them, bacterial cellulose (BC), with its unique nanoscale network structure, excellent physical properties and sustainable characteristics, stands out from many cellulose materials and has become a 'potential stock' that has attracted much attention in the field of new materials. As a natural polymer synthesized by microbial fermentation, bacterial cellulose is realizing large-scale applications in the fields of medical health, food industry, environmentally friendly packaging, flexible electronics and other fields with its core advantages of 'high purity, excellent strength, biocompatibility, and degradability', providing new solutions for the upgrading of traditional industries and the development of emerging industries.
Bacterial cellulose is a water-insoluble polysaccharide synthesized by aerobic microorganisms such as Acetobacter (such as Komagataeibacter xylinus ) through fermentation in a specific nutritional environment. Its molecular structure is composed of D-glucose units connected through β-1,4-glycosidic bonds. It shares basic molecular units with plant cellulose, but has achieved a leap-forward breakthrough in microstructure and performance.

1. Ultra-high purity and crystallinity : Bacterial cellulose is almost composed of pure cellulose without impurity interference. The degree of polymerization reaches 2000-8000 . The crystallinity far exceeds that of plant fibers, providing a pure base for subsequent functional modification and processing.
2. Excellent mechanical properties : The dry tensile strength reaches 200-300MPa , the elastic modulus is up to nearly 78GPa , and the wet state still maintains a strength of 20-30MPa , which is close to the level of some engineering plastics and metals, far exceeding the traditional cellulose-based materials.
3. Excellent biocompatibility and degradability : Natural and non-toxic, there is no immune rejection when implanted into the human body, and it can be naturally degraded without causing secondary pollution. It is an ideal choice in the fields of biomedicine and environmental protection.
4. Strong water-holding capacity and controllability : The three-dimensional nano-network structure gives it super water-holding capacity and can be quickly re-swelled after drying; the fermentation process can accurately customize the fiber shape, thickness and function by regulating the bacterial species, culture medium and environment to adapt to diverse application scenarios.
