Synthesis of highly crystalline cellulose nanocrystals from corncob agricultural waste

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) were extracted from corncob agricultural waste via sulfuric acid hydrolysis, followed by separation using centrifugation, and dialysis to achieve maximum yield.The maximum yield (41.8%) of cellulose nanocrystal was found at the parameter interaction of 65 wt.% sulfuric acid concentration...
