Nanocomposite Films for Food Packaging

This study investigates the potential of Juncus plant fibers as a renewable source for producing cellulose nanocrystals (CNs) to reinforce polymers. Cellulose microfibers (CMFs) were extracted with a 0.43 ± 0.2 μm diameter and 69 % crystallinity through alkaline and bleaching treatments, then subjected to sulfuric acid hydrolysis, yielding four CN types (CN
