Abstract:Fibrillated cellulose at nano‐ and microscales was obtained from green coconut fibre. The biomass was subjected to mechanical treatment (comminution and sieving of the fibres) and chemical treatment (washed with water, treated with sodium hydroxide, bleached with sodium chlorite, and subjected to acid hydrolysis). Finally, purification steps included centrifugation, dialysis, and ultrasound. The product obtained by acid hydrolysis, the crude fibre, and the intermediate‐treated samples were examined by scanning… Show more
