Abstract:A vast amount of agricultural waste, such as dried leaves, stems, pits, seeds, etc., are produced by date palm trees in Saudi Arabia each year. This waste is an excellent source of degradable biomass suitable for many uses. Crystalline nanocellulose (CNC) is one of the most important nanomaterials that can be used in various applications. Due to its unique properties, which include biorenewability, optical transparency, high mechanical strengths, and sustainability, nanocrystalline cellulose has become a signi… Show more
