Surface modification of microcrystalline cellulose using rice bran oil: a bio-based approach to achieve water repellency

A bio-based approach for surface modification of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) with hydrophobic property was achieved by chemical transesterification using rice bran oil (RBO) as a cheap and environmentally benign raw material. The pretreated MCC (UMCC) was uniformly distributed in a homogeneous...
