2. Biomimetically improved materials comprising microfibrillated cellulose
University essay from Umeå universitet/Kemiska institutionenAbstract : Microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) is a renewable, cellulosic material mainly producedfrom wood fibers, which are found in the secondary cell walls of plant cells. With theincreased demand for renewable biopolymer films in packaging, MFC has emerged asa potential alternative to non-renewable polymer films. READ MORE

3. CORRELATIONS BETWEEN PHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES IN MATERIALS COMPRISING MICROFIBRILLATED CELLULOSE : CORRELATIONS BETWEEN PHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES IN MATERIALS COMPRISING MICROFIBRILLATED CELLULOSE
University essay from Umeå universitet/Kemiska institutionenAbstract : Microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) films have gained a lot of industrial interest lately dueto their good barrier properties and good mechanical strength. In this study it wasinvestigated whether rheological characteristics and conductivity of MFC dispersionscomprised of different MFC grades could be correlated to tensile properties of the MFCfilms produced from the corresponding MFC dispersion.

5. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) adhesives reinforced by microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) – adhesive properties and reinforcement mechanisms
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematikAbstract : The aim of the project was to investigate a green and sustainable replacement for boric acid in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) adhesives for solid paperboard production. Boric acid acts as a cross-linker and tackifier in the adhesive but is classified as a harmful substance. READ MORE
