The usage of abundant sugarcane bagasse as a source for the extraction of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) would reduce waste in the environment. Strong acid hydrolysis by sulphuric acid (H2SO4) was a common method to produce CNC but the negative charged sulphate group on the surface of CNC had reduced...
