Production of Nanocellulose from Pineapple Leaf Fibers via High-Shear Homogenization and Ultrasonication

Production of Nanocellulose from Pineapple Leaf Fibers via High-Shear Homogenization and Ultrasonication

In this study, the isolation and characterization of nanocellulose from pineapple leaf fibers (PLF) were carried out. Chemical pretreatment included pulping, bleaching, and acid hydrolysis to remove lignin, hemicellulose, and extractive substances were conducted. This was followed by high-shear homo...
