“…Now-a-days, cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) extracted using MCC have gained significant attention from researchers and scientists in the materials science community due to their exceptional crystallinity, remarkable surface properties, and impressive tensile strength (particularly reaching up to 150 and 10 Gpa, as reported) [6]. In addition to these properties, their exceptional chemical stability, biocompatibility, renewability, non-toxicity, abundant availability from economic sources, low gas permeability, and functional surfaces are highly valued for a wider range of applications including polymer nanocomposites, packaging materials, lithium-ion batteries, drug delivery systems, tissue engineering scaffolds, and protective coatings [7]. Generally, acid hydrolysis is the most popular method for preparing CNCs because of its low cost, short reaction time, and high yield [8].…”
