The morphology of the cassava bagasse was investigated by
scanning electron microscopy (SEM) using a LEO Scanning Electron
Microscope (LEO-400) instrument.
Transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of cellulose whiskers
in diluted suspension was obtained using a PhilipsCM200TEMwith
an acceleration voltage of 80 kV. A droplet of the suspension was
deposited on a microgrid (200 mesh) covered with a thin carbon
film (∼200 nm)
