A versatile and economic synthetic material is successfully prepared using a low-cost polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and renewable cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) obtained from oil palm biomass through freeze-drying process. The PVA-based aerogels were incorporated with the CNC and glutaraldehyde (GA) which ac...
