Abstract
Nanocellulose is a prominent reinforcing material for the production of advanced nanocomposites owing to its high specific strength, low cost, good thermal and mechanical properties and biodegradability. The current study aims to extract nanocellulose from bamboo fiber by chemical treatment and mechanical grinding. The nanocellulose was extracted by acetic acid and sodium chlorite treatment followed by a mechanical grinding process. Particle size analysis of extracted nanocellulose was performed by dynamic light scattering (DLS). The average size of nanocellulose was observed approximately 25.40 nm. FTIR characterization was performed to observe the change in structural properties of the fibers after each treatment. In addition, optical and morphological analyses were also investigated by UV–Vis spectrometer and FESEM, respectively. The nanocellulose extracted from bamboo fibers can be used as reinforcement for the fabrication of bionanocomposites for several applications such as food packaging, automobile, construction, and electrical Industries.
