Sugarcane waste (bagasse) which is hitherto discarded as a waste at sugarcane parlors and jaggery units was recovered and cellulose triacetate (CTA) was prepared from the same, after isolation of cellulose. Using this CTA, CTA-gelatin composites were prepared. The materials prepared (i.e., sugarcane cellulose, CTA, CTA-gelatin composites) were characterized for their mechanical properties, water absorption capacity, infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy.
