The Treated Cellulose Micro/Nano Fibers (CMNF) from Bioresources in Malaysia

Article Preview

Abstract:

Cellulose Micro/Nano fibers (CMNF) from various plants which is Resak (Vatica spp.) waste, Merbau (Intsia bijuga) waste, banana (Musa acuminata) pseudo-stem and pineapple (Ananas comosus) leaf fibers have been isolated and characterized. Isolation of microfibril cellulose from raw fibers was achieved using alkaline treatment and bleaching. The treated and untreated samples were characterized using x-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). Characterizations of treated and untreated samples were compared. The comparison between those treated and untreated samples giving different crystallite size, crystallinity, arrangement of CMNF and surface morphology from different plants. Hence, with these information different nanocomposite from CMNF can be constructed and manipulated for various application.
