Sonosynthesis of microcellulose from kenaf fiber: optimization of process parameters

Green composites using cellulose fibers as a reinforcement material provide a sustainable and renewable alternative to petroleum-based polymers. However, controlling the usage of chemicals and processing parameters to extract the cellulose could be sometimes difficult. Therefore, this study aims to...
