Synthesis of Nano-Cellulose from Argo Wastes and Making a Fibre Film as an Alternative of Plastic Film and its Characterization

Abstract

With the rapid increase in the consumption of plastic films for different purposes it becomes crucial to develop films that are made from agro-waste materials like rice husk and wheat straw so that it can be helpful for sustainable development. As cellulose is the most abundant polymer, we can easily extract it from different resources like rice husk. So, firstly we extract cellulose naturally, and then using different mechanical and chemical treatment methods we will obtain film. The research has been focused on isolating Nano cellulose from rice husk. For characterization of film, we will use FTIR, SEM, and XRD techniques. These techniques are used to determine surface morphology, size, and characteristics of Nano cellulose. The main objective of the following research is focused on obtaining valuable products from agro waste and one such product is Nano cellulose.
