Loading of bacterial nanocellulose hydrogels with proteins using a high-speed technique.

Highlights: [•] A high-speed loading technique for BNC as drug delivery system was developed. [•] Protein uptake could be accomplished in already 10min without drug instability. [•] High-speed loaded samples displayed a retarded protein release. [•] Release behavior could be correlated to network densification. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
