Nanocellulose Extraction of Pineapple Leaves for Chitosan-starch Nanocomposites

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2020
Cellulose fibers obtained from waste pineapple leaves were chemically treated with acid hydrolysis for reduction to nanoscale size. Once the cellulose nanofibers were obtained, they were used as a reinforcing material (0.3%–1.0%) of a chitosan-starch matrix. Transmission and scanning electron microscopy was used to check the morphology and reduction of
