1. A method of forming a nanocellulose X-ray film, the method comprising
blending palm mesocarp and water to form a raw plant mixture;
heating the raw plant mixture to form a cooked plant mixture;
acid treating the cooked plant mixture with an aqueous inorganic acid at 30 to 60° C. to form a treated plant mixture comprising nanocellulose having a mean particle size of 10 to 35 nm;
mixing the treated plant mixture with a starch, a cellulose, a synthetic polymer, a plant hydrogel, a cyanoacrylate adhesive, glycerin, and an X-ray-sensitive dye to form an uncured mixture;
heating the uncured mixture to 125 to 175° C. to form a cured mixture; and
drying the cured mixture at 60 to 100° C. to form the X film.
