“…It appears from the present literature survey that cellulose crystals of different sizes and shapes may be obtained from any source containing cellulose [8][9][10][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31], even though the major problem seems to be the use of acids and oxides during the extraction process. Therefore, the application of microfibrilated cellulose produced merely by mechanical treatments, may be the most reasonable option to avoid the handling and environmental complications of chemical treatments.…”

The impressive mechanical properties, reinforcing capability, abundance, low weight, low filler load requirements, and biodegradable nature of nanoparticles from bioresources such as cellulose, make it an ideal candidate for the development of green polymer nanocomposites. Significant amount of research in this area is primarily focused on the extraction, qualitative surface modification, and evaluation of mechanical performance after filling in polymer matrixes at different ratios. The extreme agglomeration tendency, hydrophilic nature, difficult dispersion in many organic solvents of cellulose nanoparticles are the challenging obstacles when fabrication of such nanocomposites is concerned. Traditional processing of polymer composites mainly through extrusion and melt compounding, is not easily possible in case of cellulose nanocomposites due to higher possibility of poor dispersion and degradation of nanofibers. Therefore, issues related to the fabrication of nanofiber‐based products and their application appears to be one of the most important areas in order to enhance their competitiveness with other nanoparticles. This review is aimed to summarize the recent accomplishments and issues involving the use of cellulose nanoparticles in the development of new polymeric materials. POLYM. ENG.

“…Both MFC and NFC have been utilized as filler material in the sheet formation of thermomechanical pulp (TMP) paper sized with ground calcium carbonate (GCC) and clay [121,122]. The addition of MFC/NFC (less than 5 wt %) in laboratory sheets significantly improved the mechanical properties, while it was able to bind the inorganic fillers and fibers into a partially filled porous network, resulting in the increased air resistance and internal bonding of the fibers.…”

Bio-Based Coatings for Paper Applications

Abstract:The barrier resistance and wettability of papers are commonly controlled by the application of petroleum-based derivatives such as polyethylene, waxes and/or fluor-derivatives as coating. While surface hydrophobicity is improved by employing these polymers, they have become disfavored due to limitations in fossil-oil resources, poor recyclability, and environmental concerns on generated waste with lack of biodegradation. Alternatively, biopolymers including polysaccharides, proteins, lipids and polyesters can be used to formulate new pathways for fully bio-based paper coatings. However, difficulties in processing of most biopolymers may arise due to hydrophilicity, crystallization behavior, brittleness or melt instabilities that hinder a full exploitation at industrial scale. Therefore, blending with other biopolymers, plasticizers and compatibilizers is advantageous to improve the coating performance. In this paper, an overview of barrier properties and processing of bio-based polymers and their composites as paper coating will be discussed. In particular, recent technical advances in nanotechnological routes for bio-based nano-composite coatings will be summarized, including the use of biopolymer nanoparticles, or nanofillers such as nanoclay and nanocellulose. The combination of biopolymers along with surface modification of nanofillers can be used to create hierarchical structures that enhance hydrophobicity, complete barrier protection and functionalities of coated papers.

“…The addition of nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) as a reinforcing additive in papermaking can be seen as an alternative to the mechanical beating. This approach has been recently explored with promising results (Ahola et al 2008;Eriksen et al 2008;Mörseburg and Chinga-Carrasco 2009;Taipale et al 2010;Sehaqui et al 2011;González et al 2012).…”

The use of chemithermomechanical (CTMP) pulp from rapeseed residues as raw material for the manufacturing of linerboard and fluting medium grades was investigated. For this purpose, different alternatives for improving mechanical and optical properties of rapeseed CTMP were studied, and the addition of nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) was proposed to decrease the intensity of the beating process and enhance the final mechanical properties. Handsheets from each pulp were produced, and their properties compared to those of linerboard from recycled paper. Compared to kraft linerboard from recycled paper, rapeseed CTMP required less beating to reach an optimal breaking length. This reduction in beating can be combined with the addition of NFC to improve the mechanical properties of paper. Therefore, rapeseed CTMP from crop residues is a technically affordable alternative for the production of fluting and linerboard grades.
