Sugarcane leave-derived cellulose nanocrystal/graphene oxide filter membrane for efficient removal of particulate matter.

The goal of this study is to isolate cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) from sugarcane leaves (SCL) and fabricate filter membranes. Filter membranes consisting of the CNC and varying amount graphene oxide (GO) were fabricated using vacuum filtration technique. The α-cellulose content increased from 53.
