Abstract

In textile industry the bellow comb fibers are located in a range in terms of their length and diameter that it can be used as proper raw material especially in paper dough industries; therefore, present study tries to consider improvement of durable paper's properties made of cellulosic nanofibers. In this consideration, the below comb fiber of pulp and paper imported chemical pulp are prepared from a company that is producing durable papers and they were transferred to laboratory. Cellulosic nanofiber has been prepared from Nano Novin Polymer Co., and it has been consumed at 4 levels of 0, 0.3, 0.6 and 0.6%. After mixing pulp with cellulosic nanofiber at determined percentages, the handmade 90 g.m-1 papers were made and eventually physical and mechanical properties of these papers were evaluated. The results showed that enhancement of cellulosic nanofibers till 0.9% has led to enhancement of tensile strength, bursting resistance, tearing strength and folding strength comparing to control sample up to 22.7, 38.9, 7.7 and 384% respectively. Increasing the amount of cellulosic nanofibers up to 0.9% the surface smoothness has increased up to 7.9% comparing to control; moreover, water absorption and pores were reduced as 69 and 7.9% respectively. The SEM results showed that enhancement of cellulosic nanofiber percentage has led to reduction of pores.
