Microscopy Observation on Nanocellulose from Kenaf Fibre

Abstract:

Conventional fibre size has large surface area for binding site while nanocellulose posses higher surface area thus making more available binding site for fibre-matrix interaction. Kenaf has poor surface properties before treated. Treatment was applied to overcome this problem with alkali followed by acidic treatment. The nanocellulose has been produced from kenaf core (hibiscus cannabinus) by chemi-mechanical method. The fibre was treated with alkali followed by acidic treatment (HCl). Treated fibres were mechanically process by using pulverisette & cryocrushing to reduce the fibre size. The nanocellulose fibres were observed under Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The result convinced that chemi-mechanical method is a new technique for producing high yield kenaf nanocellulose.
