This study explores the production of nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) from corn cob (Zea mays), aiming to overcome the challenges of carbonization and reduced yield typically associated with the use of highly concentrated and corrosive sulfuric acid. A systematic approach was adopted employing one...
