Production and characterization of cellulose nanocrystals of different allomorphs from oil palm empty fruit bunches for enhancing composite interlaminar fracture toughness

Production and characterization of cellulose nanocrystals of different allomorphs from oil palm empty fruit bunches for enhancing composite interlaminar fracture toughness

The effect of different alkaline treatments during the extraction of α-cellulose from oil palm empty fruit bunches on the properties of subsequently extracted cellulose nanocrystals are reported. Sodium hydroxide in an alkaline process step results in a change of native cellulose from type I to II....
