Rice straw-derived cellulose: a comparative study of various pre-treatment technologies and its conversion to nanofibres

Abstract Rice straw is a waste product generated after the harvesting of rice crops and is commonly disposed of by burning it off in open fields. This study explored the potential for the extraction and conversion of cellulose to cellulose nanofibres (CNFs) to be used as smart delivery systems for f...
