Characterisation Of Cellulose Nanocrystals From Oil Palm Fronds For Carboxymethyl Cellulose Bio-Nanocomposites

Characterisation Of Cellulose Nanocrystals From Oil Palm Fronds For Carboxymethyl Cellulose Bio-Nanocomposites

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) were produced from oil palm fronds (OPF) to produce carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)-cellulose nanocrystals bio-nanocomposite. A fundamental study on top, middle and bottom parts of raw oil palm fronds was conducted and based on the scanning electron microscope (SEM) images...
