Copper–copper oxide coated nanofibrillar cellulose: a promising biomaterial†
Abstract
Nanocellulose is gaining impetus as a hierarchical material in many advanced applications. The isolation of nanocellulose from easily available bio-resources is an area to be delved into thoroughly. This article highlights the isolation of nanofibrillar cellulose from an abundant natural source, Colocasia esculenta, by a chemical method. The nanofibrils were coated with copper–copper oxide
