Abstract
) based on differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis. Herewith, the processability of cellulose was introduced after modification. In this study, bamboo waste cellulose nanofiber oleate (BW CNF-OA) showed the highest DS (2.28) among the COs. Its higher surface reactivity due to the high surface aspect ratio led to a higher quantity of fatty acids attached to the cellulose. For the mechanical properties, low DS of COs exhibited higher tensile strength values. In a nutshell, this greener approach is more favorable than conventional chemical esterification in terms of reduced solvent dosage and improved sustainability.
