Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Conference Paper Description
In this study, microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) formed from oil palm (Elaeis guineesis) trunks (OPT) by using water-treated fibre and alkali bleaching techniques. The prepared MCC with different compositions (0.5wt%, 1.0wt% and 1.5wt%) was implemented as reinforcement in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) matrix to form PVA/MCC biocomposite with glycerine as the plasticizer. The morphology of the extracted MCC was visualized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The effect of the MCC as biofiller in PVA matrices was studied using Universal Testing Machine. SEM result showed the rough surface and minor agglomeration of the MCC while XRD revealed the MCC was semi-crystalline with the crystallinity index of 48.7 %. The tensile strength of PVA/MCC biocomposites discovered the highest stress value obtained at 1.0wt% of MCC and followed by 1.5wt% and 0.5wt% with the value of 11.87, 10.07 and 9.88 MPA, respectively. It is found that the highest elongation break values of the PVA/MCC biocomposites at 54.93 mm (1.0wt% of MCC) and followed by 53.72 mm (0.5wt% of MCC) and 25.51 mm (1.5wt% of MCC).
