Cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) are attractive reinforcing materials for advanced nanocomposites due to their uniqueness characteristics. The study aims to extract CNFs from empty fruit bunches (EFB) using different deep eutectic solvent (DES) mixtures to determine which DES mixture produces the highest...
