Synthesis and Characterization of a Novel Maize Cob Based Nanocellulose

Nanocellulose is a renewable nanomaterial that has received lot of attention due to its use in variety applications from the biomedical field food packaging. In this study, Nano cellulose (NC) was extracted Maize cob, using Acid hydrolysis process. The NC characterized Particle Size Analyzer (PSA) for particle size, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) functional groups, Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), and Transmission (TEM) getting morphology X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) crystallinity analysis. result showed that, synthesized with size 213.5nm zeta potential -34.5mV. FT-IR analysis groups stretched at C-O, C=O, S=O wavenumber 1216cm-1, 1737cm-1,1365cm-1 NC. XRD shows peak around 2θ = 15.80, 22.03, 26.69, 40.44 which structure cellulose. SEM TEM images extraction process show morphological structural information Nanocellulose.
