Article Synopsis
- - Scholars are exploring eco-friendly alternatives for producing nanocellulose from natural sources to address environmental concerns, highlighting the increasing relevance of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) in science due to their favorable properties such as biocompatibility and biodegradability.
- - In this study, spherical cellulose nanocrystals (J-CNCs) were created from Jenfokie micro-cellulose (J-MC) through sulfuric acid hydrolysis, achieving a yield of up to 58.6% and a specific surface area of 99.64 m/g; morphological and structural assessments were conducted using advanced microscopy and X-ray diffraction methods.
- - The research found that J-CNCs had higher crystallinity and crystallite
