Abstract

The main objective of this work was the use of bamboo fiber for the preparation of nano-size filler which used as filler in nano-composite. The present paper concerns with the bamboo fibers as the main source for the preparation of nano-cellulose by the process of high-energy planetary ball milling at different speed of milling, different milling time, and different size of ball and its vital application as filler in biodegradable Nano-composite plastics used in automotive, agriculture, and packaging applications. The impact of the various milling condition as milling time, milling speed, ball mill size and on the basis of particle size distribution and morphology of obtained bamboo nanoparticles, nature of milling are studied. Wet milling in the presence of phosphoric acid resulted high yield bamboo nano-cellulose. During the dissolution of cellulose, the phosphoric acid plays vital role as swelling agent. Bamboo fibers easily were successfully pulverized into nano-size by the wet milling in the presence of deionized water. Due to sticking nature of material for the milling media, dry milling of bamboo fibers is difficult.
