title: Morphology and pore characteristics of bacterial cellulose/multiwalled carbon nanotube composite cryogels.
abstract: Bacterial cellulose/multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) composite cryogels were prepared via sol-gel chemistry using epichlorohydrin as a crosslinker. Their morphology and pore characteristics were examined under various conditions. The bacterial cellulose/MWCNT composite cryogels had a macroporous structure that contained mesopores and micropores due to the MWCNTs that were homogeneously incorporated in the macroporous network structure.
