Design of Carboxylic Acid‐Functionalized Poly(Butylene Adipate‐co‐Terephthalate) for Recyclable and Biodegradable Zero‐Waste Paper Packaging

Advanced Sustainable Systems, Volume 9, Issue 1, January 20, 2025.
This study reports a novel method for producing a carboxylic acid‐functionalized poly(butylene adipate‐co‐terephthalate) (CPBAT) copolymer for paper coating. The CPBAT‐coated paper is biodegradable and recyclable and provides excellent water and oil resistance as well as thermal sealing properties.

Formation of Carbonyl and Carboxyl Groups on Cellulosic Pulps: Effect on Alkali Resistance

BioResources, 2014
Ozone bleaching generates carbonyl groups on the cellulose polymer when applied to unbleached kraft pulps. This suggests that pulp fully bleached with a totally chlorine-free (TCF) sequence may contain more oxidized groups than standard elemental ...

Conversion of WastePaper into Dissolving Pulp: A Path for Circular Bioeconomy

ChemistrySelect, Volume 9, Issue 30, August 12, 2024.
The potential of wastepaper to produce dissolving pulp was demonstrated in this article. By employing and optimizing chemical processes to wastepaper pulp, a noteworthy increase of 84 % in pulp Fock reactivity was achieved (from 45.6 % to 84.1 %). The pulp characteristics were followed throughout the different treatments allowing better understanding ...
