Abstract
⺠Well interconnected web like nanofibrils extracted from pineapple leaf fibers by steam coupled acid treatment. ⺠Nanofibres prepared by this technique observed to have very high percentage yield and aspect ratio in comparison with other conventional methods. ⺠High strength nanocellulose reinforced polyurethane composites developed for medical application. ⺠Assessment of medical applicability of the developed nanocomposites for use as tissue implants such as heart valves and vascular grafts.
