Isolation and Characterization of Alpha and Nanocrystalline Cellulose from Date Palm (<i>Phoenix dactylifera</i> L.) Trunk Mesh

Highly pure cellulosic polymers obtained from waste lignocellulose offer great potential for designing novel materials in the concept of biorefinery. In this work, alpha-cellulose and nanocrystalline cellulose were isolated from the date palm trunk mesh (DPTM) through a series of physicochemical tre...
