Yu, K. (author), Spiesz, E.M. (author), Balasubramanian, S. (author), Schmieden, D.T. (author), Meyer, Anne S. (author), Aubin-Tam, M.E. (author)Sustainable structural materials with excellent impact-resistance properties are urgently needed but challenging to produce, especially in a scalable fashion and with control over 3D shape. Here, we show that bacterial cellulose (BC) and bacterially precipitated calcium carbonate self-assemble into a layered structure reminiscent of tough...journal article 2021

Yu, K. (author), Aubin-Tam, M.E. (author)Bioinspired bacterial cellulose (BC) composites are next-generation renewable materials that exhibit promising industrial applications. However, large-scale production of inorganic/organic BC composites by in situ fermentation remains difficult. The methods based on BC mechanical disintegration impair the mechanical property of dried BC films...journal article 2020
