Conversion of Lignocellulosic Biomass to Nanocellulose: Structure and Chemical Process by H. V. Lee, S. B. A. Hamid, S. K. Zain

“…The presence of cellulose in biomass is able to depolymerise into nanodimension biomaterial, with exceptional mechanical properties for biocomposites, pharmaceutical carriers, and electronic substrate’s application. However, the entangled biomass ultrastructure consists of inherent properties, such as strong lignin layers, low cellulose accessibility to chemicals, and high cellulose crystallinity, which inhibit the digestibility of the biomass for cellulose extraction. …”
