in order to simultaneously improve wet and dry strengths of paper and decrease environmental issues related to the wet strength resins, in this study effect of application method of wet strength additives on paper properties was investigated. wet strength resins were applied in four methods including spraying an aqueous glyoxal solution on to the surface of wet paper, addition of aminated polya...

The results of recent laboratory-scale studies regarding the joint effects wet strengthening agent polyamide-amine-epichlorohydrin (PAE) and internal alkylketene dimer (AKD) sizing on Nordic bleached softwood pulp (NBSK) handsheets indicate that AKD increases strength PAE strengthened handsheets. boosting effect was long-lasting. At molecular level actual mechanism behind is unclear. present st...

in production of tissue paper, the adhesion of a liquid adhesive creping aid, compound polymer, as creping aids on the yankee dryer surface was investigated. a compound polymer was prepared based on mixing ratio of poly (amideamine)-epichlorohydrin resin (pae) as an adhesive agent, polyvinyl alcohol (pva) as a modifier agent, and cationic fatty acid (cfa) and ethylene glycol (eg) as release age...

This research relates to the cellulosic fibres of treated deinked Mixed Office Waste (MOW) paper and is directed particularity to a method for improving the wet strength of recycled paper. The effect of chemical treatment of fibre was investigated. Fibres were treated with 6 and 10% Succinic Acid (SA), with 3% and 5% catalysts (based on the total weight of fibres). The catalysts used for this r...

Maleic anhydride-acylated chitosan (MAAC) was prepared and employed to improve the wet strength of handsheets. UV-Vis spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and chemical titration methods were used to analyze the resultant MAAC. Pretreatment and curing conditions were investigated when MAAC was used to improve the wet strength of handsheets. The results revealed that the wet strength performance was...

The adhesives industry is increasingly interested in products coming from natural and renewable resources. aim of the present work was to improve water resistance soy-based proteins by using synthetic formaldehyde-free additives. These include polyamide-amine epichlorohydrin (PAE), different types isocyanates, combinations these cross-linkers between them with other agents, including metal ions...

The discovery and development of natural products with potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiapoptotic properties have been one of the most interesting and promising approaches in the search for the treatment of many neurodegenerative diseases including ischemic stroke. Serum/glucose deprivation (SGD) has served as an excellent in vitro model for the understanding of the molecular mech...

In this study we prepared high grammage, robust, and structurally dense CNF (Cellulose nano fibrils) films with and without wet strength crosslinker KymeneTM (PAE, a polyamide-epichlorohydrin resin). Both selfcrosslink of PAE network and hetero crosslink between cellulose and PAE were formed at elevated temperature. Besides expected wet strength improvement, we also discovered unique stress-str...

Strength additives play an important role in allowing the papermaking industry to achieve its objectives. In this study, a new kind of paper strengthening agent based on glucomannan was developed by treating it with sodium chloroacetate under alkaline conditions, and the effects on paper properties were evaluated. Results indicated that carboxymethylated glucomannan could significantly improve ...
