in this study, in order to constitute polyelectrolyte multilayers (pem) using layer-by-layer nanotechnology, recycled fibers were subsequently treated with cationic starch (cs) and anionic starch (as) multi-layers each layer conducted at neutral ph for 10 minutes. also, to compare with mechanical of refining, the pulp was refined for 25 minutes to the freeness of about 291 ml.csf using valley b...
