The application of cellulose nanowhiskers in polymeric composites is growing due to its good properties, which expands the applicability in the industrial sector, although many studies are still in the laboratory stage. Silva, R. et al. cites many segments for application of natural cellulosic fibers, wide applicability detaching, from textile industry to some studies for the use of fibers such...

There is a general interest among paper and board makers to produce lighter and bulkier paper and board products. The aim of the present study was to characterize chemically crosslinked hardwood kraft fibers regarding their potential in making bulky paper and board. Crosslinking agents are molecules that contain two or more reactive ends that form inter-chain covalent bonds with cellulosic hydr...

Çalışmada, selülozik liflerin çok fazla tüketildiği kâğıt endüstrisinde dolgu maddesinin kullanım miktarını artırarak lifsel kaynakların tüketiminin azaltılması araştırılmıştır. Nişasta/stearik asit ile kalsiyum karbonat yüzeyinin modifiyesi partikül yüzeylerinin lif yüzeyindeki hidroksil gruplarıyla uyumluluğunun artırılması için kullanılmıştır. Nişasta moleküllerindeki gruplarına ilaveten kat...

In the world today, the need for sustainable processes is increasing. The work of the present thesis has been focused on conversion of the cellulosic part of waste textiles into biogas and ethanol, and its challenges. In 2009, the global annual fiber consumption exceeded 70 Mt, of which around 40% consisted of cellulosic material. This huge amount of fibers is processed into apparel, home texti...
