The electrospinning of acetylated lignin/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nanofibres was carried out to expand the application of lignin materials obtained from oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB). Lignin was isolated by the steam explosion method and subsequently precipitated using H2SO4. Acetylated lignin...
