Abstract
The fashion and textile industry is looking for new opportunities to create more sustainable products and change the concept of business. The possibility to replace traditional textiles with alternative material could be an important improvement and innovation. The number of scientists and designers ideas focusing on renewable sources and biomaterials can be found. Biomaterials are attractive as using low energy processes and require no harmful chemicals. Plant cellulose was first described in 1838. Thirty years later cellulose was identified as component of the gel like material formed during vinegar fermentation. In the last decade, attention of scientist has been focused on bacterial-derived materials. Investigations have proved that bacterial cellulose (BC) has certain advantages over plant cellulose. Renewable, biocompatible and biodegradable material of BC has unique structural and mechanical properties and highly hydrophilic nature. BC has wide range of applications in various fields – biomedical, electronics, packing, paper and food industry. Therefore only several studies are available where mechanical behavior of nanofibrous BC material is analyzed when properties of sheet material are modified. The aim of the research is to customize structure, strength, weight and elasticity of BC material and to study potential applications of biomaterial, particularly in fashion industry. BC is obtained during fermentation of Kombucha strain primary referred to the gram-negative bacteria species Gluconacetobacter xylinus (formerly Acetobacter xylinum). Produced material characterized by density (1.3 - 4.5 g/cm3) and yield (0.2 g/L). Changing temperature gel like biofilm is dried to obtain solid and dense material. The best tensile properties are obtained for the sample dried at 50 C temperature: the highest tensile strength (21.6 MPa) and elongation (55.0 %) is recorded. Special NaOH treatment is chosen to remove impregnated components of medium and to obtain the material with porous structure of 100 nm fibrils. The effect of different chemical compositions (Senofix®, KIO4+Senofix®, Reaktant®) on the surface and mechanical properties of BC material is analyzed.
