Antibacterial Property of Cellulose Acetate Composite Materials Reinforced with Aluminum Nitride

Cellulose acetate (CA) is a synthetic compound that is derived from the acetylation of cellulose. CA is well known as it has been used for many commercial products such as textiles, plastic films, and cigarette filters. In this research, antibacterial CA composites were produced by addition of alumi...
