Abstract

In this research, nano fibrillated cellulose, as a reinforcement nano material and environmentally biodegradable material which has recently attracted the attention of most researchers and paper producers, has been added to chemi-mechanical pulp used for manufacturing of liner board at different charges of 5, 20, 50 and 100% in two different levels of freeness. Also, the effect of wet press, one of the the most important processing agents on the properties of paper reinforced with nano fibrillated cellulose, in two levels of press pressure which included 3 and 6 bar, has been investigated. Finally, physical, barrier and strength properties of the papers produced have been measured according to TAPPI test methods. Addition of nano fibrillated cellulose was resulted in improved tensile and air resistance of chemi-mechanical pulp and increasing trend in improving of these properties with increase in press pressure was one of the important achievements of the present research.
