Abstract

This study was carried out to compare the individual and combined effects of nanolignocelluloses (NLC), cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM), cationic starch (CS) and imported chemical long fiber (LF) in the manufacture of recycle liner and fluting paper for packaging. Individual treatments of OCC were included 15% LF, 6% NLC, 1.5% CS and 0.15% CPAM as addetives. Combined treatments were included 6% NLC and 1.5% CS, 6% NLC and 0.15% CPAM. Handsheets were made with grammage of 127 g/m² by application the mentioned treatments. Finally, the physical, mechanical properties and microscopic structure of handsheet were investigated. The results showed that addition of LF and NLC caused the density of handsheets decreased compared to the control. The individual and combined treatments led to increasing the tensile and burst strength of handsheet. Also, the tear strength of handsheet increased compared to the control except for the combined treatment of NLC and CS. FE-SEM images showed pores relative reduction in handsheet that prepared from combination treatments. It showed negative effect on water drainage. The addition of 6% NLC and 0.15% CPAM to OCC pulp resulted in the highest crush strengths as RCT and CMT compared to the control. SEM micrographs showed relatively reduced pores in handsheets prepared from combined treatments, which could have negative effect on the dewatering of OCC pulp.
