Abstrakt: Timoho fiber (TF) has proven to be a potential reinforcement for composites due to its high cellulose content. Various efforts have been made to improve the TF performance in the composite fabrication, one of which is by making nanocellulose from the fiber. The structure can be the basic material for nanocomposites. Nanocellulose forms of fibers have good mechanical properties and lower density. Therefore, TF was prepared into nanocellulose by using effective methods of isolation and extraction. Fabrication process was done in three main stages namely extraction which was performed in three processes: dewaxing, mercerization, and delignification. Next, the cellulose was characterized using FTIR, XRD, FE-SEM. TEM, and TGA. Density and crystallinity index of TF nanocellulose were 0.52 g/cm3 and 88.47%. The TF morphology described the random structure which was adequate as nanocellulose method was effective to extract nanocellulose and is recommended as a sustainable cellulose bionanocomposite material.
