Fiber-based constructs have been produced as an alternative to conventional dressings for the treatment of chronic wounds (CWs), showing good tenability, high surface area and regulable porosity. A commonly used technique for processing such dressings is wet-spinning, which involves precipitating a polymer solution into a coagulation bath containing a non-solvent of that polymer. This process produces fibers wi...
Currently the textile industry relies strongly on synthetic fibres and cotton, which contribute to many environmental problems. Man-made cellulosic fibres (MMCF) can offer sustainable alternatives. Herein, the development of Lyocell-type MMCF using bacterial cellulose (BC) as alternative raw material in the Ioncell® spinning process was investigated. BC, known for its high degree of polymerization (DP), crystal...
