Polystyrene/bacterial cellulose (PS/BC) nanocomposites were prepared via in situ polymerization. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), themogravimetry (TG), and mechanical testing were employed to characterize the PS/BC nanocomposites. The polystyrene filled in the network of the BC and a lamellar structure was formed. The FTIR results show that no chemical reaction between PS and BC occurred during the polymerization. These composites showed good mechanical properties.
