Tensile and thermal properties of oil palm empty fruit bunch regenerated cellulose biocomposite films using ionic liquid

The regenerated cellulose (RC) biocomposite films from oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) were prepared using ionic liquid. N, N Dimethylacetamide (DMAc) and Lithium Chloride (LiCl) were used as solvent system to dissolve the regenerated cellulose, at room tem...
