2. 1. The effects of cellulosic fiber charges on polyelectrolyte adsorption and fiber-fiber interactions

   Author : A. Elisabet Horvath; Lars Wågberg; Stefan Zauscher; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; adsorption; electrolyte; polyelectrolyte; polyelectrolyte titration; stoichiometry; fluorescence; CLSM; carboxymethylation; ESCA; charge ration; colloidal interactions; mechanical forces; network strength; floc; CPM; rehometer; Cellulose and paper engineering; Cellulosa- och pappersteknik;

   Abstract : The surface charges of cellulosic fibers contribute to several papermaking operations that influence the manufacture and final properties of paper. This thesis investigates the effect of the surface charges on wet-end chemistry, e.g. READ MORE

4. 2. Bacterial adhesion to polyelectrolyte modified materials based on nanocellulose

   Author : Jonatan Henschen; Lars Wågberg; Per Larsson; Josefin Larsson; Aji Mathew; Michael Malkoch; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Bacterial adhesion; cellulose nanofibrils; polymer adsorption; polyvinylamine; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

   Abstract : Since the introduction of materials based on cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs), these materials have been studied extensively and are suggested to be suitable for use in, for example, hygiene and health care products. A property not very well studied but that could further increase the usability of CNF products is the possibility of controlling bacterial adhesion to the materials. READ MORE

   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Paper dry strength additives; adsorption of polymer; polyelectrolyte; birch fibres; model cellulose surface; cellulose beads; filaments; light-weight paper board; polyacrylamide; cationic starch; Torrstyrkekemikalier; polymeradsorption; polyelektrolyter; cellulosafibrer; modellcellulosaytor; cellulosakulor; lättviktsliner; polyakrylamid; katjonstärkelse; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

   Abstract : Paper packaging is commonly found in the form of paper and cardboard boxes, but recently paper packing is being used in food packaging, trays, beverage packaging and even paper straws, among others. Paper strength additives have been developed to increase the efficiency of the joint strength and the joint areas and potentially maintain bulk in paper products. READ MORE

6. 4. Porous Materials from Cellulose Nanofibrils

   Author : Nicholas Tchang Cervin; Lars Wågberg; Björn Lindman; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Poröst material; cellulosa nanofibriller; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

   Abstract : In the first part of this work a novel type of low-density, sponge-like material for the separation of mixtures of oil and water has been prepared by vapour deposition of hydrophobic tri-chloro-silanes on ultra-porous cellulose nanofibril (CNF) aerogels. To achieve this, a highly porous (>99%) robust CNF aerogel with high structural flexibility is first formed by freeze-drying an aqueous suspension of the CNFs. READ MORE

7. 5. Appropriate conditions for polyelectrolyte titration to determine the charge of cellulosic fibers

   Author : Elisabet Horvath; KTH; []
   Keywords : adsorption; electrolyte; polyelectrolyte; ;

   Abstract : The polyelectrolyte titration method has been developed overthe years in order to determine the surface charge ofcellulosic fibers. The conditions have been varied depending onthe author. READ MORE
