The application of an oppositely charged dual polymer system is a promising approach to enhance paper strength. In this work, modified chitosan (MCN), a cationic polymer, and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), an anionic polymer, were used sequentially to improve paper strength. The adsorption of MCN on cellulose fibers was analyzed via polyelectrolyte titration. The formation of MCN/CMC complex in water and the deposition of this complex on silicon wafers were investigated by means of atomic force microscope and quasi-elastic light scattering techniques. The results showed that paper strength was enhanced slightly with a layer-by-layer assembly of the polymers. However, if the washing stage, which was required for layer-by-layer assembly, was eliminated, the MCN/CMC complex was deposited on fibers more efficiently, and the paper strength was improved more significantly. The significant improvement was attributed to the extra development of fiber bonding, confirmed further by scanning electron microscope observation of the bonding area of fibers treated with or without washing. However, the brightness of papers was somewhat decreased by the deposition of the complex on fibers. Higher paper strength also was achieved using rapid drying rather than air drying.

AbstractThis study focused on realizing fire retardancy for polymer composites by using a cellulosic biofiller and ammonium polyphosphate (APP). The motivation of this study was based on revealing the mechanism of the synergetic effect of a cellulosic biofiller and APP and determining the parameters required for achieving a V-0 rating in UL94 standard regardless of the kind of polymer system used. As for the polymer matrix, polypropylene and polylactic acid were used. The flammability, burning behavior and thermal decomposition behavior of the composites were investigated through a burning test according to the UL-94 standard, cone calorimetric test and thermogravimetric analysis. As a result, the incorporation of a high amount of cellulose enabled a V-0 rating to be achieved with only a small amount of APP despite the variation of the optimum cellulose loading between the matrix polymers. Through analysis, the results indicated that APP decreased the dehydration temperature of cellulose. Furthermore, APP promoted the generation of enough water as a nonflammable gas and formed enough char until the degradation of the polymer matrix was complete. The conditions required to achieve the V-0 rating were suggested against composites incorporating APP and biofillers. Furthermore, the suggested conditions were validated by using polyoxymethylene as a highly flammable polymer.
