Abstract
This paper examines the features of formation and structure of bacterial cellulose (BC) composites with carbon nanotubes (CNTs). We aim to study the influence of initial components on structure and crystallinity of BC composites. We use optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy in order to investigate the surface morphology of BC composite films and X-ray diffraction analysis to determine the crystallographic structure of prepared samples. It is shown that CNT agglomerates in BC composite interact only with the surface layers of BC. CNTs and their bundles up to 50 nm in diameter are able to effectively penetrate into the BC network.
