Highly purified wood fibers as paper-making material

Highly transparent and writable wood all - cellulose hybrid nanostructured paper †

Paper, as an inexpensive substrate for flexible electronics and energy devices, has garnered great attention because of its abundance, biodegradability, renewability and sustainability. However, the intrinsic opacity and higher roughness of regular paper greatly restricts further applications. One promising method is to use cellulose nanofibers (CNs) to fabricate nanopaper with a high optical t...

Decision making for Raw material Procurement in Paper making factory Majid

The aim of this article is to determine how to select raw material supply options for paper making factory. The decision-making is examined within the framework of benefits, opportunities, costs, and risks (BOCR). A hierarchy is used to prioritize the BOCR themselves are prioritized using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) ratings approach. A control hierarchy is then created and prioritized ...

Oil Palm Fibers as Papermaking Material: Potentials and Challenges

Properties of highly purified fucan.

Fucan was first isolated by Kylin from brown seaweed and named fucoidin by him (1). More recently fucan was isolated by Percival and Ross (2) from several Phaeophyceae. They considered it to be a polymeric salt of fucose monosulfate. However, their most highly purified preparation still contained approximately 5.6% sugars other than L-fucose and 3.3 ‘% uranic acid. A branched structure was sugg...

Highly Compatible Wood Thermoplastic Composites from Lignocellulosic Material Modified in Ionic Liquids: Preparation and Thermal Properties

A study of converting chemically modified wood into thermoplastic materials was undertaken to develop a new technology platform for the effective utilization of wood-based lignocellulosic materials. Highly substituted benzoylated spruce thermomechanical pulp (TMP) and lauroylated spruce TMP were used as components for thermoplastic composites of poly(styrene) and poly(propylene). Scanning elect...
