Photobactericidal hairy nanocrystalline cellulose was developed as a bioinspired nanofiller for engineering self-disinfecting food packaging. A new version of nanocellulose functionalized with high density primary amine group called aminated (ANCC) synthesized. As natural photosensitizer, rose bengal (RB) then covalently linked to ANCC via an aqueous-based bioconjugation reaction, confirmed by ...
