Biodegradable nanomaterials derived from biopolymers like cellulose, lignin, chitin and starch are hypothesized to support the development of eco-friendly functional nanosystem. In this work, nanolignin was extracted from coconut fibers by a controlled microbial hydrolysis process and compared with the nanolignins prepared by high shear homogenization and ultrasonication processes. The bulk lignin extracted from coconut fibers by soda pulping process was subjected to controlled hydrolysis by a lignin degrading fungal isolate, Aspergillus sp. The obtained nanolignin was characterized for size by DLS particle size analyzer, morphology by AFM and FE-SEM, chemical nature by FTIR, glass transition temperature by DSC and crystallite size by XRD. The microbial process yielded 58.4% nanolignin while homogenization and ultrasonication processes yielded 81.4% and 64.3%, respectively. Not Available |
