Resumen:
Transparent biobased composites have been produced fron totally renewable resources: bacterial cellulose (BC) nanofiber and epoxidized soy bean oil (ESO). BC nanofibres have been obtained in static culture from Gluconobacter xylinum. BC films inmersed in ESO solution at different conditions allow achieving ESO/BC biocomposites with different BC contents. Increasing BC content, tensile strenght and modulus are enhanced due to BC random in plane network-like structure. Transparency of the samples is maintained even at high BC contents.
