Isolation of cellulose nanocrystal from oil palm biomass with different formic acid hydrolysis time / Ahmad Afiq Jumhuri

Oil palm biomass is a renewable resource that can be manipulated for many applications. Nanocellulose which can be extracted from oil palm biomass is renewable and biodegradable with wide range of possible applications. Cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) was isolated using formic acid hydrolysis with diffe...
