Superheated steam pretreatment of oil palm biomass for improving nanofibrillation of cellulose and performance of polypropylene/cellulose nanofiber composites
Cellulose isolation from lignocellulosic materials is a crucial step prior to cellulose nanofiber (CNF) production. Previous studies exhibited that the presence of some amount of hemicellulose would give advantage in the nanofibrillation of cellulose. Superheated steam (SHS) pretreatment has been po...
