| Abstract | ||
| The research aims to extract nanocellulose from rice straw. The extraction involved multistep process; alkaline treatment, H2O2 bleaching and acidic hydrolysis. Further nanocellulose was used for antibacterial hydrogel design for wound healing. Characterization of nanocellulose was carried out using XRD. The average particle size was 3.5 nm. The antibacterial activity of nanocellulose were evaluated against E. coli and S. aureus strains. Nanocellulose showed promising antibacterial activity compared to standard drugs gentamicin and ampicillin | ||
