Preparation and characterization of cellulose nanofibers from banana pseudostem by acid hydrolysis: physico-chemical and thermal properties

Cellulose is a biopolymer that may be derived from a variety of agricultural wastes such as rice husks, wheat straw, banana, and so on. Cellulose fibril that is reduced in size, often known as nanocellulose (NC), is a bio-based polymer with nanometer-scale widths with a variety of unique properties....
