Cellulose Nanofibers Isolated from the <i>Cuscuta Reflexa</i> Plant as a Green Reinforcement of Natural Rubber

Cellulose Nanofibers Isolated from the <i>Cuscuta Reflexa</i> Plant as a Green Reinforcement of Natural Rubber

In the present work, we used the steam explosion method for the isolation of cellulose nanofiber (CNF) from <i>Cuscuta reflexa</i>, a parasitic plant commonly seen in Kerala and we evaluated its reinforcing efficiency in natural rubber (NR). Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR)...
