Nanotecnología en el sector papelero: mejoras en calidad y permanencia de las fibras de alto rendimiento y secundarias en una economía circular mediante el uso de nanofibras y el refino enzimático

Abstract: Bio and nano technologies are absent or incipient in papermaking industry and, concretely, in recycling and high-yield pulps sectors. In this sense, the present Thesis uses cellulose nanofibers (CNF), both in bulk and on surface, for physicomechanical properties enhancement of both recycled papers and of those made from high-yield fibers. Moreover, in order to reach even higher physicomechanical properties, the synergetic action between CNF and enzymatic refining was investigated. Recycling through mechanical refinement was found to produce papers with similar properties than the original ones, without the possibility of enhancement. However, the above cited combination drives to papers with properties that can be used in higher performance applications.
