Abstract

This study was done to replace the imported long-fiber chemical pulp (LFCP) by adding nano lignocellulose fiber (NLCF) and dual composition of nano-cationic starch (CS) and nano- cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM) for preparing durable paper made from waste lint recycling combing machine. For this purpose, 5% unbleached NLCF and 1% CS or 0.1% CPAM were mixed to waste lint pulp (WLP) as the control. The LFCP was added to the WLP in three amounts of 10%, 20%, and 30%. Also, CS and CPAM at three levels were used separately in WLP. Handsheets were made from 13 types of pulp compositions in grammage of 90 g/m2 and their physical, mechanical and optical properties were measured according to the relevant standards. Based on the results, addition of 1% CS to the control pulp (except for the paper yellowness) could be a good substitution for the LFCP. Also, the addition of NLCF resulted in a significantly decrease of handsheet’s brightness and an increase of handsheet’s yellowness. Furthermore, double fold endurance and softness of handsheets decreased compared with the LFCP, which might be due to the accumulation of NLCF on the surface of the paper according to SEM images. The addition of 0.05% CPAM except for double fold endurance could improve the paper properties compared with using LFCP in WLP. Nano-particle dispersion somewhat improved using dual composition systems and the addition of nano-CS revealed that the paper strength improved compared with using NLCF alone and nano-CPAM.
