“…A good bond between water hyacinth fiber, HDPE, and MCC is formed by mixing them together. [9]. When an external load is placed on the composite material, the MCC acts as a barrier to prevent crack propagation and aids in stress transfer between the fiber and matrix.…”

“…Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) is a microcrystalline cellulose that can potentially cover the voids [8]. MCC can also be used as a reinforcement because it can also act as a nucleation center so as to form a network which results in increased stiffness, resistance and impact resistance of the * Alvinmaulana931@gmail.com † Bambang_k@staff.uns.ac.id ‡ m_asyain@staff.uns.ac.id composite [9]. Compared with natural fibers, MCC has surface area wider so that the mechanical properties are stronger [10].…”

This research aims to determine the effect of adding Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) to Bio-composites. MCC was put into a mixture of HDPE matrix and water hyacinth with a volume ratio of 0% and 1% MCC. Composites are made through extrusion and hot-pressing processes. The mechanical and physical properties of the composite were tested to determine the effect of adding MCC. The results of this study showed that the addition of 1% MCC increased the tensile strength by 4.6% with a strength of 30.81 MPa and a modulus of elasticity of 2190.63 MPa. The same thing happened during physical testing through density testing, where the addition of 1% MCC could increase the density to 1.016 gr/cm3. SEM testing was also carried out in this study, the results showed that the composite surface with the addition of MCC, voids and gaps that were previously seen to be closed by MCC so that the transfer of stress between the matrix and the fiber is better.

“…Furthermore, it is worth noting that the flexural strength exhibited the most significant enhancement, with observed increments ranging from 80% to 164%. Similarly, a research investigation showed that the inclusion of 4% MCC inside a composite material resulted in a notable enhancement of its tensile, flexural, and impact strength [2].…”

“…Further research was conducted by Raharjo et al by using MCC to improve the mechanical characteristics of composites made using cantala fiber and recycled high-density polyethylene (rHDPE) [2]. Before the integration, the cantala fibers undergo a series of mechanical processes, including crushing and milling, resulting in the conversion of rHDPE into a powdered state.…”

Cellulose was extracted from waste generated by pruning tea stem wastes. The interaction between pure cellulose and homophthalic acid produced a light (0.22 g·cm–3) and eco-friendly hybrid aerogel product that is highly absorbent (85 g of water per 1 g of aerogel). The product has a Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area of 221 m2·g–1. In addition, the product was analyzed for its structural and functional properties using scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared, and X-ray diffraction. The methodology employed in this study is uncomplicated, utilizing easily accessible and sustainable biowaste at a low cost. As a result, the current process is well-adapted for industrial-scale production, with the potential for significant advancements in the field of green materials.
