Description 109-116
Nanocellulose, in form of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC-B) from banana fibres, has been isolated through steam explosion
followed by chemical treatments and mechanical grinding. The nano size of isolated particles is confirmed by dynamic light
scattering and transmission electron microscopy analysis and an aspect ratio up to 9.80 is reported. The improvement in
crystallinity and removal of amorphous constituents are confirmed by X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared
analysis respectively. It is interesting to report that the present CNC-B is unable to show an antibacterial property, which
might be due to complete removal of lignin.
