Abstract

Bacterial cellulose (BC)/graphene oxide (GO) sphere-like hydrogels have been biosynthesized by in situ route in dynamic cultivation. The GO concentration during BC biosynthesis (0.01 and 0.05 mg mL-1) was the determining factor for the conformation of the final hydrogels: encapsulation (BC/GO 0.01) or distribution through all the body of the spheres (BC/GO 0.05). The as-prepared sphere hydrogels were characterized in terms of physico-chemical properties, thermal stability, microstructure, and swelling capacity in different media. In addition, a chemical treatment with ascorbic acid was performed in order to obtain reduced graphene oxide (rGO) into the spheres (BC/rGO). After the chemical treatment, electrostatic force microscopy (EFM) revealed electrical interactions due to the presence of rGO inside the spheres and resistivity values in the range of semiconductive materials were obtained (106 Ω·cm), making BC/rGO spheres promising for the development of electro-stimulated systems. The in vitro release study of ibuprofen (IB), showed that the reduction process led to an increase of 73 and 92% of drug release with respect to BC/GO 0.05 and BC/GO 0.01 spheres, respectively. Moreover, the encapsulation conformation showed more hom...Continue Reading
