Preparation and Characterization of Kenaf and Oil Palm Nanocellulose by Acid Hydrolysis Method

Abstract:

Acid hydrolysis method become one of the attention among researcher to produce high degree nanocellulose. Integration of sonication process was used to stir and mix particles in an element for different stages. This paper revealed the surface morphology and crystallinity index of two organic plant that were kenaf and oil palm nanocellulose. Characterization of the nanocellulose were identified by 2 techniques; (1) field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) that provides surface morphology and elemental information of the element, (2) x-ray diffraction (XRD) for phase identification of materials crystallinity. The result showed that the properties of nanocellulose increase after sonication method have been integrated.
