This research deals with the synthesis of nanocellulose from rubberwood (Hevea brasiliensis) fibers via ultrasonication combined with enzymatic and chemical pretreatments. Cellulose nanofibers were separated from rubberwood fibers in three distinct stages. Initially, rubberwood fibers were subjected...
