Isolation of nanocellulose from jatropha waste: An overview

Abstract

Nanocellulose widely used as an additive to improve the quality of composite for medical appliances, electronic and many other applications. The structure can be found in a plant cell wall and established methods are needed for an isolation process. Biomass from plant is commonly selected for this process due to theirs abundance resources. Nanocellulose from jatropha plant will be thoroughly discussed in this paper where several isolation methods will be highlighted.
