Characterization of cellulose I/II hybrid fibers isolated from energycane bagasse during the delignification process: Morphology, crystallinity and percentage estimation

- The revised highlights are as below: Cellulose I/II hybrid fibers were obtained during delignification process.
- Defibrillation effect with reduced fiber width was observed.
- The crystallinity for cellulose fibers decreased after NaClO2 treatment.
- XRD, 13C NMR and FTIR results showed the same trend in the degree of crystallization.
