The Effect of Nano Crystalline Cellulose-Filled to Tensile Strength of Oil Palm Trunk Starch-Based Adhesive

Has conducted research on the effect of nanocrystals of cellulose produced from oil palm trunk. Nano crystalline cellulose-field into the oil palm trunk starch modified. There was a increase in the quality of oil palm trunk starch which be used to as adhesives. Their modified starch added DSTB. Nano crystalline cellulose produced by oil palm empty fruit bunches used isolation method. Adhesive  characterized by tensile strength, and SEM. Durability and adhesion strength of the nanocomposites were compared to those of the Indonesian Standard for wood adhesives which there have been gave us a new information for adhesive. Nanocrystalline cellulose added 2% into nanocomposite were the optimal yield. Keywords : modified-starch, nanocrystalline cellulose, tensile strength, and SEM
