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.

Fiber morphology, chemical composition and wood characteristic of fast-growing black poplar branch were studied. Meanwhile, pulping performance of it used for alkaline peroxide mechanical pulp (APMP) was discussed preliminarily. The research results showed that the fast-growing black poplar branch can be used as raw materials for APMP pulping and papermaking.

Eucalyptuspulp cellulose fibers were modified by the sol-gel process for SiO2superficial deposition and used as reinforcement of thermoplastic starch (TPS). Cassava starch, glycerol, and water were added at the proportion of 60/26/14, respectively. For composites, 5% and 10% (by weight) of modified and unmodified pulp fibers were added before extrusion. The matrix and composites were submitted to thermal stability, tensile strength, moisture adsorption, and SEM analysis. Micrographs of the modified fibers revealed the presence of SiO2nanoparticles on fiber surface. The addition of modified fibers improved tensile strength in 183% in relation to matrix, while moisture adsorption decreased 8.3%. Such improvements were even more effective with unmodified fibers addition. This result was mainly attributed to poor interaction between modified fibers and TPS matrix detected by SEM analysis.

This paper experimentally examined the impact of four different drying methods (free drying, press drying, vacuum drying and impingement drying) on paper physical properties including roughness, elongation, air permeance, tearing resistance, tensile index and bursting strength. The handsheets materials are HWBKP (Hardwood Bleached Chemical Pulp), SWBKP (Softwood Bleached Chemical Pulp), CTMP (Chemical Thermo mechanical Pulp) and ATMP (Advanced Thermo Mechanical Pulp). Good experimental data were obtained for the four pulps under different drying conditions. The results of our investigation indicate that press drying have lower surface roughness, elongation and air permeance but higher tearing resistance; the vacuum drying have higher roughness, tensile index and bursting strength; the impingement drying have lower tearing resistance, tensile index and bursting strength but higher elongation and air permeance. Selection of different drying conditions for effective productivity and quality improvement potential is proposed as a direction for the future dryer design.

The Americal Old Corrugated Containers (AOCC) was treated with laccase. Fiber morphology, molecular weight and distribution of lignin were analyzed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). Through the model compound of lignin (ferulic acid) was treated by laccase, the correlative mechanism for improvement of the wet-strength of pulp by laccase was discussed. The results showed that the molecular weight of lignin decreased and the lignin adhered on the fiber surface after the pulp was treated by laccase. While the laccase treated pulp with heating treatment, the condensation degree of lignin and adhesion area on fiber increased. In addition, when the ferulic acid was treated by laccase, the results were similar to AOCC pulp.

Abstract This study elucidates the relationship between the dissolution of pulp components and the development of fiber bonding properties in alkaline peroxide bleaching of aspen mechanical pulp. In general, bleaching reactions cause the removal of pulp substances from the fibers, which in turn improves pulp strength properties. Nonetheless, alkaline hydrolysis is particularly important to the development of strength because this reaction mechanism plays a key role in imparting additional carboxylic acid groups onto the fibers. The strong correlation between fiber carboxylic acid group concentration and the amount of anionic dissolved substances makes it possible for us to predict the strength properties of bleached pulps by estimating the anionicity of bleaching filtrates using analytical methods such as cationic demand. The paper also provides insights into the importance of the alkalinity in peroxide bleaching to the dissolution of pulp materials and the strength development.

Metaplexis japonica seed hair fibers (Mj-fiber), harvested from the seed pods of Metaplexis japonica (Apocynaceae: Asclepiadoideae) originating in China, Japan and Korea, have features ensuring its potential application in the textile and other industrial fields. In spite of the extensive study on the medicinal properties of Metaplexis japonica, research literature about Mj-fiber is quite limited. We obtained Mj-fibers by artificial peeling and seed removing; then the fiber morphology, chemical composition, structures, fiber surface absorption characteristics, and tensile and thermal properties were studied in detail. From the results, Mj-fiber has a hollow structure with a thin fiber wall and large lumen, in which the hollowness is over 92%. Uniquely, Mj-fiber is a natural profiled fiber with a cross-section of a "cross flower" morphology. At the same time, the density of it is very low, accounting for only one-fifth of the cotton fibers, and the fiber length distribution is relatively concentrated. The main component is cellulose, with a content of 53.9 ± 3.20% and structure of cellulose I. In particular, Mj-fiber has excellent hydrophobic and oil affinity surface characteristics. Moreover, the fibers bulkiness and warmth retention performance are comparable to that of duck down. Therefore, the results provide an experimental basis for the application of Mj-fibers in the textile and other industrial fields.

Developing economical and sustainable fractionation technology of lignocellulose cell walls is the key to reaping the full benefits of lignocellulosic biomass. This study evaluated the potential of metal chloride-assisted p-toluenesulfonic acid (p-TsOH) hydrolysis at low temperatures and under acid concentration for the co-production of sugars and lignocellulosic nanofibrils (LCNF). The results indicated that three metal chlorides obviously facilitated lignin solubilization, thereby enhancing the enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency and subsequent cellulose nanofibrillation. The CuCl2-assisted hydrotropic pretreatment was most suitable for delignification, resulting in a relatively higher enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency of 53.2%. It was observed that the higher residual lignin absorbed on the fiber surface, which exerted inhibitory effects on the enzymatic hydrolysis, while the lower lignin content substrates resulted in less entangled LCNF with thinner diameters. The metal chloride-assisted rapid and low-temperature fractionation process has a significant potential in achieving the energy-efficient and cost-effective valorization of lignocellulosic biomass.
