Abstract
⺠Properties of bacterial cellulose (BC) can be altered using non-growth based additives. ⺠BC properties were modified with the addition of poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB). ⺠PHB was incorporated into the BC fibrils during production. ⺠PHB modified BC offers an improved interface with BC in a PHB composite matrix.
