Dehydration of wet bacterial cellulose (BC) mainly focuses on the physical characteristic or mechanical strength, but its polymorph crystal structure and thermal properties were rarely discussed. Herein, this study utilizes the drying method of hot-pressed and freeze-dried to the wet BC to elucidate...
