Nanoindentation of single pulp fibre cell walls [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Unrefined chemical pulps of bleached and unbleached softwood (Scots pine, Pinus sylvestris) and hardwood (Eucalyptus, Eucalyptus globulus) were subjected to indentation tests using a nanoindenter equipped with an AFM scanner.

All-cellulose composites from unbleached hardwood kraft pulp reinforced with nanofibrillated cellulose

open access: yesCellulose, 2013
In the present work, nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) from bleached eucalyptus pulp was prepared, characterized and used as reinforcement in an unbleached eucalyptus fiber matrix. First, the NFC was fabricated through TEMPO-mediated oxidation and characterized for the degree of polymerization, water retention value, cationic demand and carboxyl content.

Controlling Temporally and Spatially Homogeneous Temperature Distribution of Paper Substrates by Biogenic Phase Change Hybrid Material Coatings

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 12, Issue 3, February 3, 2025.
Phase change materials (PCMs) can absorb energy during their melting process, whereby heat, for example, is attenuated as it passes through. In this study, a mixture of ethylene glycol distearate (EGDS) and cellulose stearoyl ester (CSE) was used as a PCM in paper without the need for encapsulation.

Kappa Number Prediction of Acacia melanoxylon Unbleached Kraft Pulps using NIR-PLSR Models with a Narrow Interval of Variation

open access: yesBioResources, 2014
A total of 120 Acacia melanoxylon R. Br. (Australian blackwood) stem discs, belonging to 20 trees from four sites in Portugal, were used in this study. The samples were kraft pulped under standard identical conditions targeted to a Kappa number of 15.

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

open access: yesAdvanced 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.

Effect of H2O2 bleaching with ultrasonication on the properties of thermomechanical pulp and unbleached kraft pulp

open access: yesUltrasonics Sonochemistry, 2015
Abstract H2O2 was used in the final stage of a multistage bleaching process to increase ISO brightness by 2–3%, because of the poor selectivity and bleachability. However, concerns about the environmental load of the bleaching process have led to the efficient use of oxygen-derived compounds, with a concomitant decrease in the quantity of chlorine ...

Quality and yield of pulpwood in drained peatland forests: pulpwood properties of Scots pine in stands of first commercial thinnings

open access: yesSilva Fennica, 2003
The inherent structural dynamics of drained peatland forests may result in a great variation in various wood and fiber properties. We examined variation in fiber and pulp properties i) among stands, ii) among trees within stands, and iii) within trees
