A Study of the Effects of Ionic Charge and Molecular Weight of Polymers on Wet-Web Strength [PDF]
Improved machine speeds in the production of paper have increased the number of wet-end breaks due to wet-webs that are unable to withstand the increased stresses at increased rates of production.

Potential drivers of fast growth in Paulownia
Trees in the genus Paulownia play a crucial role in sustainable forestry, rural economic development, and carbon mitigation due to their rapid growth, exceptional hardwood properties, and prominent carbon sequestration capacity. This review highlights the societal value of Paulownia trees and synthesizes several potential drivers of extraordinarily ...

Hydrogen Ion Concentration of Sheet Making Water and Its Relationship to the Hygroexpansion of Paper [PDF]
The hygroexpansivity of paper is of particular importance in the paper industry. As paper dimensions become more critical, the problem of hygroexpansivity in paper necessarily becomes more critical.

On the Origins of Out‐of‐Plane Auxetic Response in Paper
Paper can be auxetic! Paper can exhibit a range of out‐of‐plane Poisson's ratio (PR) values. Examining handsheets made from hardwood (HW) and softwood (SW) fibers, of a variety of weights (1, 3, or 5 g) and refining degrees (none, R, or R+), showed that the sign and magnitude of PR can be finely controlled by modifying network parameters.

The 3D formability of paperboard was examined using full and localised microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) coatings in thermoforming, hydroforming and deep drawing, and the results were linked to bulge‐test strain behaviour. Full‐surface fluidised MFC coatings consistently improved strain capacity and 3D formability, achieving performance comparable to ...
