Good day, Felix Sahayaraj Arockiasamy! Hope you are doing well.
I suppose you may start looking through the material with the standard methodologies, close to the one, enlisted below:
"SPNCCs were prepared by acid hydrolysis of the cellulose obtained as described elsewhere (Sanyang et al., 2016). Acid hydrolysis was carried out using 60 wt% H2SO4 solution and kept stirring with mechanical stirrer 1200 rpm for 45 min at 45 °C. The time of hydrolysis in this study was fixed at 45 min, which was found to be the optimum time (Bondeson, Mathew, & Oksman, 2006a). The ratio of the obtained cellulose to liquor was 5:100 (wt%) (5 g cellulose: 100 g H2SO4 solution). The hydrolyzed cellulose samples were washed four times by centrifugation (6000 rpm, 20 min, and 10 °C) to eliminate the leftover sulphuric acid. The suspension was then dialyzed against distilled water until a constant pH was reached. Then, the resultant suspension was sonicated for 30 min. Lastly, the suspension was freeze-dried at −110 °C using ethylene gas and stored at cool place prior to sample analysis (Bondeson et al., 2006a; Sheltami et al., 2012)."

Best of luck in your research!
