Nanocrystalline cellulose from microcrystalline cellulose of date palm fibers as a promising candidate for bio-nanocomposites: isolation and characterization

Date palm fiber (Phoenix dactylifera L.) is a natural biopolymer rich in lignocellulosic components. Its high cellulose content lends them to the extraction of tiny particles like microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) and nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC). These cellulose-derived small size particles can b...
