Extraction of cellulose nano-whiskers using ionic liquid-assisted ultra-sonication: optimization and mathematical modelling using Box–Behnken design
This study focuses on the extraction of cellulose nano-whiskers (CNWs) from the leaves of Adansonia kilima (AK), usually known as African baobab, using a combination of a microwave-assisted alkali (KOH) pre-treatment with subsequent bleaching process prior to ultra-sonication. Ultra-sonication was c...
