Nanocellulose has been thought of as a more cost-effective various to carbon fiber and optical fiber for a few applications, associate degree is additionally thought of a helpful material by the paper and pulp industries that use nanocellulose as an economical suggests that to extend permeability in many product like napkins, ketches towels, etc. The nanocrystalline cellulose may be fully biobased or chemical based. NCC extracted from the cellulose of banana peel is considered to be a biodegradable and one of the bio-compatible materials. They are also considered to be attractive biomaterial. They are also strong and are highly crystalline with high thermal stability. NCC from banana peel also plays a significant role in packaging pharmaceuticals, biomedical, transparent material. Here we study the synthesis process of NCC from BP. The extracted NCC from BP is characterized using SEM, UV and FTIR.
