In this paper, we initially report a new type of wax printing method for rapid fabrication of microfluidic devices in paper using a commercially available, cheap, minitype (home-use) CO2laser engraving machine. This method combines the two core operations commonly involved in all previous wax printing methods, namely the printing and heating (melting) of wax patterns into one operation of engraving home-made wax slice (put in contact with the surface of paper) by laser. The heat produced by the laser makes the wax being engraved melt and then spread into paper to form complete hydrophobic barriers which are used to define the hydrophilic flow channels or separate test microzones. Under the optimized experimental conditions, a typical device on a 3 cm × 3 cm piece of paper could be fabricated separately within ~320 sec and is ready for use once the engraving process is completed. The fabrication resolution and multiplexed analytical capability of the wax-patterned paper were additionally characterized.

nanofibrillation of the oil palm empty fruit bunches, EFB, by synergizing the alkaline peroxide chemicals and a subsequent refining process was found to liberate useful fibrous mass. Of these, the nanofiber web materials were found to render smoothing effect by covering the trough between bound fibers and thus, hiding the true morphology of fibers on the paper surface. Apart from smoothing, which is one of the important paper properties requiring expensive furnishing, the thin nanofiber webs (tn-webs) also held the paper structure firmly by plunging of the nanofibers into the gaps between the micro-fibers. This is mainly due to their dimensional (10 nm < Diameter < 100 nm) compatibility. The smorgasbord shapes of the liberated tn-webs have a relatively lighter structures, found in the range of 2400-121500 μm2 areas, could be abundantly produced by adjustment of refiner blade type with a specific alkaline peroxide chemical level. The maximal level of paper smoothness was measured by the laser toner spread (fusion or otherwise). Analysis reveals more extensive toner fusion on Waldron-4 sample, suggesting surface uniformity anfd better leveling of fibers on paper surface. It turns out that, this corresponds to the fibers detected with more evidence of delamination and thus, more count of nanofiber web. Not only is this a proof of correlation of nanofiber web intensity with paper smoothness but also a possible promise for an alternative measure for paper printability enhancement.

A mulberry paper has been used to produce many consumer products such as lantern, card, packaging and decorating articles. Similar to other cellulosic materials, the mulberry paper bears abundant hydroxyl groups on its surface. Besides easily ignited, it can absorb water or humidity. To improve its thermal stability and to reduce deterioration caused by moisture adsorption, the mulberry paper was coated with a flame-retardant substance which was monoammonium phosphate (MAP) and a hydrophobic substance which was poly (methylhydrogen siloxane) (PMHS). The coating was conducted by immersing the mulberry paper in coating solution for 2 min followed by drying at 50 °C for 30 min. By varying a weight ratio of the PMHS and MAP, the PMHS:MAP weight ratio of 10:10 was found to be the optimum coating solution. The coated mulberry paper had good thermal property according to the thermogravimetric analysis. The uncoated mulberry paper showed residue of about 21% while the coated mulberry paper showed the increased residue of more than 50%. The burning test revealed that the coated mulberry paper was self-extinguished after removal of the ignition source while complete burning was observed on the uncoated paper. Moreover, it was water repellent with a water contact angle of 101.48 ± 5.81 degrees.

The meta-aramid fibrids were prepared by precipitation in this paper. The meta-aramid solution dissolved in the solvent system DMAc/LiCl was injected into the high shearing coagulant at room temperature and the mixture of water and N, N-dimethylacetamide(DMAc) was used as coagulant. The shearing rate, viscosity of the solution and the concentration of water in coagulant were the main factors on effecting the formation of fibrids. The meta-aramid fibrid has a gradual weight loss process when the temperature increases from 100°C to 400°C, lower thermal property of meta-aramid fibrid was due to the hydrogen bonding and crystalline structure were broken during dissolving process, however, a flexible and easy dispersing property of meta-aramid fibrid in fluid is due to its amorphous structure, which are very important that the meta-aramid fibrid has a better binding and adhesive property with the aramid short fiber in aramid paper, then yield a high mechanical and insulation property for aramid paper. Then, the properies of aramid paper were investigated. The results indicated that the proportion of meta-aramid fibrid in the aramid paper and the length of shorten aramid fiber are the main factors for affecting the strength and the other properties of aramid paper.

Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was used to study the relationship between the strength properties of poly ( p-phenylene terephthalamide)-PPTA paper and the preparation parameters, such as hot pressing temperature, hot pressing pressure, proportion of PPTA short-cut fiber and beating degree of PPTA-pulp. The results showed that: hot pressing temperature, hot pressing pressure have highly significant influences on the tensile strength and wet strength. The proportion of PPTA short-cut fiber has significant effects on the tensile strength and wet strength. The beating degree of PPTA-pulp also affected the tensile strength significantly. At the same time, the tensile strength was significantly influenced by the interaction between hot pressing temperature and the proportion of PPTA short-cut fiber as well as the interaction between hot pressing temperature and the beating degree of PPTA-pulp. The interaction between hot pressing temperature and hot pressing pressure has significant influences on wet strength, whereas the other factor interactions were not significant. The quadratic formula was established by optimizing the results of multiple regressions. And the model was highly consistent with the experiment. This model could be used to analyze and predict the main strength properties of PPTA paper and also might be used to optimize the production process of PPTA paper and control its quality.

Aluminium silicate fiber is an excellent high-temperature material which is widely used in special paper industry in recent years. Due to its property of hardly interweave into the paper and the low strength of the single inorganic fibers paper, it is difficult to make a general basis weight paper. In response to these issues, the strength of the paper was improved by adding some plant fibers. This study takes advantage of good resistance to high temperature of inorganic adhesive and bonding capacity of organic intensifier. Meanwhile two inorganic adhesives (waterglass and ludox) and one organic adhesives carboxymethy starch (CMS) were used in the process of preparing the aluminium silicate paper. The physical properties and insulation properties of the paper which prepared from the difference conditions were studied. The experiment results showed that the adhesive of waterglass and ludox can improve the properties of resistant to high temperature. The adding dosages were 10% and 7.5ml, respectively. The best ratio of alumina silicate fiber to conifier fiber is 7 to 3.The using of CMS can decrease the amount of the plant fiber and its best usage is 10%.

A newly devised process using micro-electrochemical machining (MECE) is described as a recycling module in the current study. The purpose is the precise removal of In2O3SnO2 thin-film nanostructures from optical PET diaphragm surfaces for digital-paper surface. In the current experiment it was found that a large rotational diameter (Dc) for the cathode with a small gap width between the anode and the PET diaphragm surfaces was found to remove the In2O3SnO2 rapidly. A small edge radius of the cathode, or a short arc length of the anode, reduces the time taken for In2O3SnO2 removal. A high feed rate of the PET and adequate electrical power results in fast machining. Pulsed direct current improves dregs discharge and this is an advantage with a fast feed. A high electrode rotational speed also corresponds to faster removal of the In2O3SnO2 nanostructures. The development of the proposed precision production design is based on both technical and economic considerations.

Our presentation develops the study of cement mortars manufactured with melamine waste, either in the form of powder or cellulose paper, taken from the industrial production of particle boards, characterizing all of their properties and comparing them with traditional cement mortars. The objective is to determine in what way the addition of melamine powder and melamine paper will modify traditional mortar, once these materials have been subjected to a polymerization process under pressure and under increased temperature, in order to assess the possibility of using these new materials for applications in the construction industry. The behaviour of mortar in the fresh state is studied, determining the variations produced with the addition of melamine powder and melamine paper on the workability and the on-site use of these mortars. Likewise, their mechanical properties under flexion, compression, and adherence to a ceramic surface are studied and compared with those obtained from the reference mortar. Water absorption by capillary action and vapour permeability are also studied, in order to understand the interaction of the polymerized melamine in the capillary network of the mortar. Dosages were prepared for a reference mortar and a further two series of mortars with different quantities of melamine powder and melamine paper, together with cement, sand and water. In this first phase, the use of additives in the mixtures was not considered. The process of selecting the materials and the dosage criteria of the mixtures are subsequently described. The results of the study show that the use of powder melamine and paper cellulose melamine can be used to manufacture mortars with properties that are equivalent to traditional mortars, although further studies with greater precision will be needed on the contribution of the melamine polymerization process to the internal structural cohesion of the mortar.

Polyaniline-paper composite is prepared on a paper template by interfacial polymerization. Using SEM and FESEM, the morphology of PANI on fiber and pores between fibers are inspected based on different polymerization. The flake shape of PANI is formed on fiber surface at the beginning due to electrostatic attraction, while the granular is growing on the pores freely. This flake shape on fiber is changed with 3rd polymerization into granular. When the resistivity is below 100cm/S, linear PANI in pores is growing to the fiber nearby, and PANI network formed. The morphology also confirmed that PANI on fiber only remains on the upside not fully covered surface of fiber. Very few PANI is found inside paper substrate by cross section SEM. The method is discussed also with polyaniline-fiber composite polymerization and in-site paper polymerization.

Composite soils have been extensively used in civil engineering applications, especially in slopes, embankment dam and landfills. This paper aims to investigate effect of paper reinforcement inclusion on compaction characteristic of composite soil (i.e. clay composite). A series of laboratory tests performed to assess reinforcement effect on optimum water content and maximum dry unit weight of composite soils. Clay was selected as soil part of the composite and paper was used as reinforcement. The paper reinforcement parameters differed from one test to another, as paper length varied from 15 mm to 40mm and paper content were selected as 5% and 10%. For each test, compaction curved derived and the results were compared. The results proved that inclusion of paper affected compaction behaviour of samples so that increasing in paper content and length caused increasing in Optimum Moisture Content (OMC) and slightly decreased maximum dry unit weight.

During the process of making aluminium silicate fiber paper, inorganic binders retaintion was little because of the smooth surface of aluminium silicate fibers. In this study, sepiolite was used to improve tensile strength of the sheet by increasing inorganic binders retaintion rate through its high adsorptivity. The effect of sepiolite on the tensile strength of alimunium silicate fiber paper was investigated. The results showed that the best mass ratio of aluminium silicate fibers to spiolite was 7:3. Under this condition, the tensile strength of the sheet was 4.79 N•m/g, which increased by 24.2% from the one without sepiolite.

Offset paper properties have great influence on the quality of print matter. Eleven offset paper samples were printed by IGT printability tester, then the density and L*a*b values of printed samples were measured. The relationship between paper properties and optical density or color gamut of paper printed was studied. The results show that main density increases with the increased ink quantity before the main density reaches saturation, the saturation density becomes greater with increased ink absorbency. When the smoothness is larger, lower ink quantity is needed for reaching saturation density, and larger color gamut is obtained. This study will provide references for the paper making and printing enterprises.

The paper coating was made from acrylic resin mixed with synthesized silica that refluxing by HCl 2 M 120 min at different ratio (2%, 4% and 6%) and paper coated with a gravure printing machine. The qualities of paper coating were analyzed from viscosity, Transparency (Density) and color gamut of inkjet printing. The paper coating that mixed synthesized silica from rice husk 4% was highest qualities because have viscosity 358 ± 24.99ctp., Density = 0.19, and widely color gamut.

In this paper, Old Corrugated Container (OCC) was used as the raw material for making paper. The layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly process of creating highly structured thin films was adopted to modify the surface of OCC fibres. Poly dimethyldiallylammonium chloride (PDADMAC) and hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) have been used to build up polyelectrolyte multilayers on OCC fibres under a certain condition. Zeta potential analyzer was used to monitor the dynamic adsorption of PDADMAC and HEC with different amount on OCC fibers. Strength measurements of the sheets including tensile index and bursting index were also determined, showing a significant improvement in physical strength with the increase of adsorbed layer number. Compared with not being processed sheets, tensile index and bursting index of sheets from treated fibre with polyelectrolyte multilayers were raised by 36.65% and 49.50%, respectively. Furthermore, filtration time analysis of OCC fibre suspension showed that the built up of PDADMAC and HEC on OCC fibres could improve the fiber-fiber joint strength of joints from polymer-treated fibers, which made the filtration time decline from 30 s to 10.6 s. In addition, SEM was introduced to observe the morphology of the PDADMAC/HEC multilayers. The images revealed that the surface of OCC fibres structured a film like plastic, which could be ascribed to the adsorption layer of polyelectrolyte.

The paper honeycomb is a strain-rate-sensitive material. It is significant to predict the mechanical properties of paper hoenycomb at different strain rate for optimizing packaging design. According to the Cowper-Symonds equation, the influence of the strain rate on the paper honeycomb was studied, and the characterization parameters were found by parameter fitting. It provides a reference for optimizing design of paper honeycomb.

Hydrophobic modification of cellulose fibres was conducted by plasma-induced polymer grafting in an attempt to increase the hydrophobicity of paper. Two hydrophobic monomers, i.e., butyl acrylate (BA) and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (2-EHA) were grafted on cellulose fibres, induced by atmospheric cold plasma. Various influencing factors associated with the plasma-induced grafting were investigated, including the contact time and reaction temperature with monomers, and the dosage of monomers. Contact-angle measurement, infrared spectrum (IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) were used to ascertain the occurrence of the grafting. The results showed that the hydrophobic property of the modified paper sheet was improved significantly after the plasma-induced grafting. The water contact angle on the surface of the paper reached up to higher than125°.

Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) was used to scan the surfaces of 9 kinds of food packaging paper, and the surface porosity of them was analyzed according to fractaltheory. To study the relationships between surface porosity and the air permeability of the paper samples, Schopper air permeability tester was used to test the air permeability of the samples. By fitting experimental curve, the relationships between the surface porosity and air permeability were obtained. It demonstrated that the fitting curve described the profile of the experimental values very well and the air permeability depends exponentially on surface porosity over a large range of porosity and the fitting curve equation is Ps=1.132e15.89A.

The residual contaminants in paper-plastic food packaging materials can migrate into both surface and inside of food, and consequently harm consumer’s health. Due to this fact, the safety of food packaging materials has attracted concerns from all over world. In this study, the residual contaminants were extracted by ethanol from paper-plastic food packaging materials under ultrasonic condition and different temperatures firstly, then the extractives were concentrated by rotary evaporator, and finally the concentrated contaminants were characterized by means of Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) detection. The results showed that the following contaminants are detected in the paper-plastic food packaging materials: plasticizer including dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP); antioxidants including 2,6-Di-tert-butyl-p-benzoquinone and 2,6-Di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol (BHT), and solvents in printing ink production including n-Hexadecane and n-Heptadecane. Upon the test results, the conclusion is that more residual contaminants can be detected under high temperatures. This study is helpful for quality control of paper-plastic food packaging materials and has built basic foundation for future migration research.

In this paper, sandwich construction was made up of wood surface sheet and paper honeycomb core. Some cores were impregnated with phenolic resin. Compared to untreated honeycomb materials, impregnated honeycomb core greatly improved the mechanical properties of sandwich construction composites. The results of the study showed that, sandwich construction with phenolic resin treated honeycomb core had higher bonding strength than those bonded with isocianate resin. With the increasing of honeycomb core thickness, sandwich composite material decreased in flat pressure strength, side pressure strength, and flexural properties. The results we got in this research would provide a very good reference to the application of sandwich construction with honeycomb core.
