Abstract

Abstract Mimosa pudica Linn (sensitive plant) is a medicinal plant of family Fabaceae. Its stem is a good source of cellulose. This research work reports isolation of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) from M. pudica stem fibres by combined chemical and mechanical treatments. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/star...
