Preparation and Papermaking Properties of Dry-Cut Powder from Chemically Crosslinked BEKP

BioResources
Chemical crosslinking of cellulosic fibers increases their brittleness, making them more susceptible to dry powdering. In this study, bleached eucalyptus kraft pulp (BEKP) sheets were crosslinked with glyoxal (GO) and citric acid (CA) and subsequently ...
