Characteristics of cellulose fibers from Opuntia ficus indica cladodes and its use as reinforcement for PET based composites

With the aim of valorizing the unexplored Moroccan resources, Opuntia ficus indica (OFI) cladodes were proposed as a renewable source for the production of cellulose. In this work, cellulose microfibers were extracted from OFI cladodes using one of the most suitable methods for the extraction of cel...
