This study explored the impact of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and the benzoylation treatment on the production of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) derived from Semantan bamboo (Gigantochloa scortechinii). Bamboo cellulose nanocrystals (BCNs) were obtained via acid hydrolysis, with the effectiveness of an i...
