Hybrid cellulose nanocomposite films (HCNFs) were fabricated using cellulose from cotton linters as the matrix, and varying loadings (5 to 25wt.%) of modified tamarind nut power (TNP) with in situ generated copper nanoparticles as the reinforcing fillers. These hybrid composite films were characteri...
