Isolation, Characterization, and Functionalization of Cellulose Nanocrystal From Oil Palm Frond Fiber With Antimicrobial Agent
Abstract This study offers a thorough analysis of the synthesis of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) from oil palm fruit fiber (OPFF) and how antimicrobial hydrogels use them. A multi-step procedure including bleaching, alkaline treatment, oxalic acid, and enzymatic hydrolysis was used to extract CNCs from OPFF successfully. After the extraction procedure was refined, high-purity CNCs with ... Read More
