Nanocrystalline cellulose was isolated from waste oil palm empty fruit bunch fiber using Sulphuric acid hydrolysis. Chemical modifications of nanocrystalline cellulose was performed to allow good compatibilization between fiber and the polymer matrices and also to improve dispersion of fillers. Bionanocomposite materials were produced from these nanocrystalline cellulose reinforced Poly (lactic acid) and Poly-(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) using solvent casting and evaporation techniques. The properties of extracted nanocrystalline cellulose were examined using FT-IR spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometer, TEM and AFM. Besides that, the properties of bionanocomposites were examined through FESEM and oxygen permeability properties analysis. Better barrier and morphological properties were obtained for nanocrystalline cellulose reinforced bionanocomposites than for neat polymer blend. © 2016 Author(s). date: 2016 publisher: American Institute of Physics Inc. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85005949148&doi=10.1063%2f1.4968099&partnerID=40&md5=2de96e30e67baa29667636eafa7c27c9 id_number: 10.1063/1.4968099 full_text_status: none publication: AIP Conference Proceedings volume: 1787 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9780735414518 issn: 0094243X citation: Bhat, A.H. and Dasan, Y.K. and Khan, I.U. and Ahmad, F. and Ayoub, M.
