Hardwood-derived cellulose nanofibrils & micro-fibrillated via Fenton pretreatment: Issues of fiber fragmentation & coating performance

A novel cellulose nanomaterial was synthesized using a controlled Fenton oxidation process, demonstrating enhanced fibrillation and increased negative surface charge due to added carboxyl groups, which improved dispersibility and stabilization of cellulose nano fibrils and micro-fibrillated cellulose. This material, when used as paper coatings, showed potential for improved barrier properties and hydrophobicity, supporting the utility of Fenton oxidation in sustainable material innovation.

Improving physical properties & printability of fruit packaging kraft liner with mineral & coatings.

Biological nanomaterials like nanographene and fluorite are promising for applications in due to their biocompatibility and biodegradability, as demonstrated by this study's coated , which enhanced the physical characteristics and of 120 g/m² brown kraft liner. The results indicated significant improvements, with the air resistance of the graphene-coated sample being approximately 5350 seconds, a roughness increase of 9.7 µm with fluorite, and a noticeable enhancement in opacity and glossiness, along with excellent adhesion of the coated layer and flexo ink.
