Abstract

This review paper explores the potential of oil palm biomass as a valuable cellulose source for the production of nitrocellulose-based propellants, contributing to the green revolution and sustainable energy solutions. It highlights the availability of the corresponding biomass in Malaysia and in line with global studies, the chemical compositions, as well as a brief description of current technologies for converting biomass of oil palm into value added products specifically cellulose. Steps to achieve maximum utilization of biomass from oil palm industry for cellulose production and prospective source for nitrocellulose-based propellant are also proposed. The methodology section outlines the pretreatment of lignocellulosic fibres, cellulose extraction, and nitrocellulose production processes. Overall, the review underscores the prospective of palm oil biomass as a sustainable cellulose source for propellant manufacturing, while acknowledging the need for further research and advancements in the field.

Abstract

The development of environmentally friendly materials and composites keeps growing interest from various industries and one of that is in polymer composites processing. The production of polymer composites with nanocellulose as a reinforcement material is currently a hot research area, owing to the superior properties of nanocellulose itself. Research on nanocellulose composites have made significant contributions to the development of functional and sustainable materials for various applications such as packaging, building and construction material, automotive, aerospace, and biomedical. The presence of nanocellulose in composites is usually affected the mechanical properties like tensile strength, flexural strength and impact strength. Besides that, there are several factors that can affect the mechanical properties of nanocellulose composites such as fiber loading, distribution, orientation and the use of compatibilizers. Thus, this article provides an extensive overview on the effect of nanocellulose on the mechanical performance of polymer composites. Besides, several factors that contributed in the production of an excellent mechanical properties of nanocellulose composites were also tackled. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
