Chemically purified cellulose and its nanocrystals from sugarcane baggase: isolation and characterization.

Agro-wastes such as sugar cane bagasse can be explored for use in different aspects. Its applicability as a source of cellulose has attracted much interests especially in biomedical field among various applications. In the current work chemically purified cellulose (CPC) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) were effectively extracted from sugarcane bagasse (SCB).
