Recent studies have suggested that blocky mechanical pulp fines (CTMP fines) and fibrillar fines (SMC fines) have a negative impact on biocomposite modulus of rupture (MoR) in compression molded biocomposites. In addition, it was suggested that CTMP fines also have a negative impact on biocomposite modulus of elasticity (MoE). This study investigated whether these findings transfer to other types of cellulose fines material and injection molding. The effect of ‘V-fines’ addition to sawdust- and TMP-based biocomposites was analyzed, with respect to fines concentration, dispersing agent, and compatibilizers. The results indicated that the addition of ‘V-fines’ increased the stiffness (MoE) of all the analyzed compositions, while reducing the elongation at break. The addition of ‘V-fines’ reduced the tensile and flexural strength of TMP biocomposites, while it was largely unaffected for sawdust biocomposites. Flexural strength for neat ‘V-fines’ composites showed an increase that was proportional to the remaining pulp fibers composition. The addition of a dispersant agent to the ‘V-fines’ increased tensile strength, suggesting that an increased dispersion of the ‘V-fines’ can be achieved and is beneficial to the composite. The effects of the analyzed compatibilizer (polyethyleneoxide) was negligible, except for a small indication of increased MoE for fines / sawdust biocomposites.

The applicability of bleached bamboo kraft pulp (Ba-BKP) was explored as a raw material for the manufacture of nanofibrillated cellulose (EN-NFC) made of enzyme-pretreated pulps and the effects of the EN-NFC on enhancing paper strength. The Ba-BKP was pretreated using an endo-glucanase enzyme at 50 °C and pH 6, after which the EN-NFC was made by micro-grinding. Bleached hardwood kraft pulp (Hw-BKP) was used as a control, and the non-enzymatic refining pretreatment of BKPs was compared with the enzyme pretreatment. The EN-NFC was incorporated into handsheets, and the sheet strengths were measured. The physical properties of the NFC made from the Ba-BKP were similar to those made from the Hw-BKP. The NFC prepared following enzyme pretreatment were smaller and more uniform than those pretreated with refining. The EN-NFC made from the Ba-BKP was effective at enhancing tensile index by 52.7%, and burst index by 210.2% when 2% of EN-NFC was added in the furnish, and those of handsheets containing the EN-NFC made from Hw-BKP showed the similar improvement. Therefore, Ba-BKP can be used as a raw material for the manufacture of EN-NFC that confers similar physical properties and strength enhancement to paper as those made from Hw-BKP.

Abstract Tea stalk was used for producing carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), and a response surface methodology was used to model effective factors relative to the degree of substitution (DS). The optimum values of the independent variables were an alkalization time of 107 min, monochloroacetic acid at 3.11 g, and an etherification time of 171 min, at which the CMC had a DS of 0.668. The yield of CMC in optimization condition was 75.9 %. The optimized CMC was in a good agreement with the commercial CMC, as based on Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffractometry analyses. The optimized CMC was used to enhance paper strength, and with economic factors and paper strength enhancement taken into account, the appropriate amount of optimized CMC was determined to be approximately 0.3 %. When the amount of optimized CMC was at 0.3 %, the tensile index, burst index, tearing index, and folding endurance were 26.7 N m/g, 1.0\hspace{0.1667em}\text{kPa}\hspace{0.1667em}{\text{m}^{2}}/\text{g}, 12.1\hspace{0.1667em}\text{mN}\hspace{0.1667em}{\text{m}^{2}}/\text{g}, and 2.0, respectively. Together, these results indicated that the optimized CMC exhibited comparable paper strengthening properties relative to that of commercially available CMC.

In this work, diatomite particles were modified to improve the bondability of diatomite particles with pulp fibers and filler retention via a complex of cationic starch-sodium hexametaphosphate coating method. The particle size, FTIR spectroscopy characteristic and morphology of the resulting modified diatomite were studied to confirm the successful modification. The SEM results illustrated that the surface of modified diatomite particles was covered by the complex coatings. The coating efficiency of the complex of cationic starch-sodium hexametaphosphate on diatomite surface was up to 98%. Compared with the handsheet filled unmodified diatomite, the handsheet filled with modified diatomite had higher strength properties and lower bulk. When cationic starch dosage was 7%, and filler dosage was 25% , the resulting tensile strength of filled modified diatomite handsheet was 22.1% higher than the handsheet filled unmodified diatomite. Furthermore, with the filler loading of 30%, compared with that of unmodified diatomite, filler retention of modified diatomite was increased by 20.4%. The larger particle size and higher zeta potential of modified diatomite were benefitial to increase retention of modified diatomite filler.

This paper compared the differences of laccase modified APMP and unmodified controlled trails to characterize laccase’s impacts on the whiteness, physical properties and fiber morphology of APMP. From this paper, we can see that after laccase modified, the whiteness of the APMP significantly reduced; physical properties of the APMP were reduced after the first enhanced with increasing the amount of laccase. when the amount of laccase was 2u/g, the physical properties of the APMP were best, the same time after 2u/g laccase treatment ,the surfaces of the pulp fibers engendered the devillicate and peeling.
