Tissue engineering is to develop alternative methods for tissue regeneration, applicable to degenerative processes, and congenital deformities in progressive disease, among other possibilities. In this scenario, the bacterial cellulose stands out as a promising biopolymer for the preparation of scaffolds and their use in tissue engineering as temporary substituents of injured or damaged tissue.ln this work we have prepared and characterized scaffolds based on biocelluloseby in situ modification by using a water-soluble cellulose derivative, which is, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC). Modified BC scaffolds wew characterized by different physico-chemical tests, namely, Atomic ForceMicroscopy (AFM) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR).The results revealed additional features bacterial cellulose, such as increased adhesion and deformation and demonstrated the incorporation of the CMC structure effectively cellulose.
