Three kinds of bacterial cellulose films were prepared by different drying methods, which included electrothermal drying without hot-air, vacuum drying and freeze drying, and bacterial cellulose films were named BC1, BC2 and BC3 accordingly. The structure of bacterial cellulose films was characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), infrared spectroscopy (IR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Physical and mechanical properties, porosity, absorbing water capacity, preserving water capacity, water vapor penetration rate, transparency and thermal stability of BC films were tested. The results showed that the surface of BC1 films were uniform and dense, cavities and cracks configurations existed in BC2 films, and cavities and layer structures were observed in BC3 films. All the three kinds of bacterial cellulose films demonstrated a crystalline form of cellulose I and the crystallinity of BC1 films, BC2 films and BC3 films were 73.9%, 63.8% and 58.2%. Of these three kinds of BC films, Young's modulus, breaking strength, transparency and thermal stability of BC1 films were best, porosity, absorbing water capacity, preserving water capacity, water vapor penetration rate of BC3 films were best, and properties of BC2 films were in between.
