Investigation on Synthesis of Hydrogel Starting from Vietnamese Pineapple Leaf Waste-Derived Carboxymethylcellulose
Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is obtained from Vietnamese pineapple leaf waste through etherification. By treating pineapple leaf powder with a solution of NaOH then with HNO3 at 90°C for an appropriate time, cellulose can be efficiently extracted. To obtain CMC, carboxymethylation was performed by...
