To test various formulas and techniques for manufacturing dry-fabricated bio-film (DFBF) that exhibits physical properties advantageous to the use of the DFBF in wound dressings, a DFBF was fabricated by adding chitosan (Chi) and alginate (Alg) to homogenized bacterial cellulose (BC) obtained from v...
