Abstract

Coconut coir is the largest component in coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) which contains 75% fiber and 25% cork. Coconut fiber contains cellulose as much as 54.3% with α-Cellulose 26.6% α-Cellulose is a polymer that is widely used in human life. The molecular weight and degree of polymerization are impor
