Abstract

The mechanical characteristics of bacterial cellulose (one of the most promising cellulose-based nanomaterials) fundamentally depend on its moisture content. It has been found that the effect of aqueous solutions of alkali metal chlorides on its strength and deformation properties is determined by the mobility of water molecules in the near coordination spheres of cation hydration shells.
