ABSTRACT
This paper propose a new fabrication process for micropatterning a nanofibrous thin film made of bacterial cellulose(BC). BC is a hydrogel produced by specific bacteria and composed of pure cellulosic nanoflbers exhibiting 3D network structure. Such nanofibrous structure is found to be appropriate for adhesion of anchorage-dependent cells. Furthermore, BC shows high biocompatibility and mechanical toughness. Thus, the microfabrication technique for BC broadens potentials for applications. In this study, we report a new method for micropatterning BC film with feature resolution comparable with photolithography technology.
