Flexible and transparent BC/PU composites were prepared, which exhibit excellent transparency (up to 90%) in the visible region and great mechanical properties, with a tensile strength of up to 69 MPa and a Young's modulus of up to 6 GPa.

Optically transparent nanocomposites were prepared by epoxy resin reinforced with bacterial cellulose nanofibers in volume fraction from 2.6 to 32.7wt%. The transparence, surface smoothness, thermal expansion and mechanic properties of the nanocomposites with different BC fiber content were characterized. It was found that the nanocomposites display high visible light transparence (84% at 600nm) even at high fiber content (32.7 wt%). The coefficient of planar thermal expansion (CTE) was reduced from 83.8 ppm/K (Epoxy resin) to 40.6 ppm/K at low fiber content (2.6 wt%). The high transparence was insensitive to the change of temperature from room temperature to 90 oC.
