Extraction and characterization of nanocellulose from waste of date palm "Phoenix dactylifera″ as reinforcement of polymer composites.

The cellulose is the most abundant and renewable polymer in nature. It is characterized by its biodegradability that can help to establish a friendly environment. The main objective of this study is intended to characterize the nanocellulose obtained from waste date palm,  including the dried palms (DP) and the fresh palms (FP) by implementing chemical methods (hydrolysis with H2SO4).

and studies: investigating the chemical composition, DFT, molecular docking, and dynamic simulation of essential oil as a potential antibacterial agent.

This study aimed to investigate the chemical composition and antibacterial properties of the essential oil (EO) derived from the aerial parts of (SC), as well as the mechanisms of interaction between SCEO chemical components and target proteins related to antibacterial activity mechanisms using a molecular docking approach, and for more accuracy molecular dynamic simulation and DFT calculations were carried out. The GC-MS technique was used to analyze the chemical composition of SCEO. The results showed that SCEO contained various chemical compounds, with pulegone being identified as the major component (53.
