Preparation, characterisation and optimisation of cellulose nanoparticles from kenaf fibre and its application in polylactic acid reinforcement
In this work, cellulose nanoparticles (CNP) were extracted from kenaf fibre and were used to reinforce natural rubber/polylactic acid biocomposites. The kenaf fibre was subjected for pretreatment by three different techniques namely, alkali treatment, bleaching, and sonication. A full factorial desi...
