Green Extraction of Cellulose Nanocrystals of Polymorph II from <i>Cynara scolymus</i> L.: Challenge for a “<i>Zero Waste</i>” Economy

Green Extraction of Cellulose Nanocrystals of Polymorph II from <i>Cynara scolymus</i> L.: Challenge for a “<i>Zero Waste</i>” Economy

The increase of agri-food wastes by agriculture and industries is one of the main causes of environmental pollution. Here we propose the recycling of <i>Cynara scolymus</i> L. wastes to obtain polymorph II cellulose nanocrystals (CNC). Two different extraction procedures are compared: (i...
