High strength paper production based on esterification of thermomechanical pulp fibers in the presence of poly(vinyl alcohol)

High strength paper production based on esterification of thermomechanical pulp fibers in the presence of poly(vinyl alcohol)

Thermomechanical pulp (TMP) fibers, generally used to produce newspapers and carton materials, have poor inter- and intra-fiber bonding contributing to low strength properties. Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVOH) was applied as a co-additive of 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic acid (BTCA), in the presence of so...
