Exploring the potentials of nanocellulose whiskers derived from oil palm empty fruit bunch on the development of polylactid acid based green nanocomposites

In this study, nanocellulose whiskers (NCW) from oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB) were used as reinforcement phase in polylactid acid (PLA). Two techniques were employed to isolate the NCW from OPEFB microcrystalline cellulose (OPEFB-MCC); chemical swelling with DMAc containing 0.5% LiCl to gene...
