Lowering pH converts dissociated acid moieties to reduce water retention, enabling efficient pressure filtration of fibril cellulose.
Foam forming creates porous thermoformable webs from cellulosic fibres and thermoplastics for compression moulding.
A semi-batch process produces aqueous colloidal silica with 16-18% solids and low viscosity.
Through-air drying of a multi-ply tissue web imparts cross-machine direction strain, balancing CD tensile strength and softness without creping.
Microfibrillated cellulose adsorbs precipitated calcium carbonate into a hybrid ply, improving whiteness and elastic modulus without reducing tensile strength.
Adding a cationic polymer to mechanical pulp before mixing improves first pass ash retention while maintaining sheet bulk and stiffness.
Composite nonwoven fabric uses low-shrinkage non-melting fibers and high LOI thermoplastic fibers to prevent fire spread without losing structural integrity.
Salt particle templating controls porosity in dried microfibrillated cellulose foams, eliminating costly freeze drying.
Extending corner pillar segments along end walls resolves compressive strength trade-offs while maintaining compact folded dimensions.
Polymerizing hemicellulose with styrene and alkyl acrylates via redox initiation yields a dispersion that improves water vapor transmission rates.
