Recipe Details
Ingredients
Bacterial nanocellulose (BNC), Suspension
Preparation Steps
Bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) is applied as a lining paper to creased Xuan paper (Table 1, Ref 57). The process involves using the BNC suspension to consolidate the paper matrix, specifically targeting creases to improve smoothness and resistance to further mechanical stress.

Evidence
"Improving tensile index, folding resistance, and tear resistance; remaining pH value and the crystallinity unchanged; making the creased paper smoother."
Remarks
BNC is noted for its high purity, crystallinity, and hydrophilicity (p. 19). For Xuan paper, it was found that after exposure at 80 degrees Celsius and 65% RH, the tensile index and folding resistance actually increased in BNC-treated samples (Table 1). BNC acts as a bridging agent that holds paper fibers together more effectively than traditional plant fibers due to its nanostructured network (p. 20).
