    As environmental pollution problems arise due to the use of plastic, efforts are underway to replace it with ecofriendly materials. Gas grafting has ability to render cellulose surfaces hydrophobic, thereby imparting water resistance to paper. However, this hydrophobization poses challenges in recycling because disintegrating pulp fibers is difficult because of their poor wetting, and a reduction in hydroxyl groups adversely affects the absorbency and strength of recycled paper. In this study, we analyzed the effects of high-consistency pulping and kneading on the hydrophilicity and strength of recycled paper made from hydrophobized fiber through gas grafting with palmitoyl chloride. Experimental results indicate that high-consistency pulping was advantageous for recovering the hydrophilicity and strength of recycled paper based on hydrophobized fibers. During the kneading process, only hydrophilicity was recovered while the curling of fibers resulted in insufficient strength improvement. - COLLAPSE

    In the development of Yangzhou paper-cut, easy-to-use and reliable redesign methods are unavailable, which leads to the serious homogenization of its cultural and creative products. In response to this issue, this paper applies the TRIZ (Theory of Inventive Problem Solving) to the innovative design of Yangzhou paper-cut art. Firstly, it introduces the core idea and main content of TRIZ theory. Secondly, it analyzes the theme, image and expression techniques of Yangzhou paper-cut art, and explores its cultural connotation. Finally, it applies the theory of invention and creation of TRIZ to solve the problems of Yangzhou paper-cut art innovation and describes the results of eight specific design cases. This passage provides a reference for the creative generation, functional innovation and optimization process of Yangzhou paper-cut art products, which is of certain practical significance. - COLLAPSE

    In this study, it was explored whether it is possible to improve the fiber orientation and formation of paper by controlling the flow of the fiber dispersion in the headbox during papermaking using a pilot scale wet-web forming machine having open type headbox. After preparing paper specimens by adjusting the height of the turbulence plate and the height of the slice opening of the headbox, the physical properties of each paper specimen, such as CD and MD tensile strength and bond strength, were measured and compared. As the gap between the bottom of the headbox and the turbulence plate or the gap of slice was smaller, that is, the flow velocity of the stock were increased, fibers of the paper were oriented in the machine direction and the formation was relatively good. These results indicate that it is possible to change the fiber orientation and formation of paper by controlling the flow of the stock at the headbox. - COLLAPSE

    Reducing energy consumption in the papermaking process is a critical challenge for the paper industry. One method to decrease energy usage in the refining process is the enzymatic pretreatment of pulp. Two different enzymes applied as pure cellulases (Celluclast® 1.5) and mixtures of cellulase and xylanase (Viscoflow® MG). Different dose of enzymes as 1.0, 2.0 and 4.0 IU were added to treat hardwood bleached kraft pulp at 50℃ for 60 minutes. SEM analysis confirmed fibrillation on the fiber surfaces of both cellulase-treated and mixed enzyme-treated pulps, indicating external fibrillation effects, which were more pronounced with cellulase. Compositial analysis of polysaccharides by 1H-NMR analysis showed that the mixed enzyme-treated pulp had reduced xylan content. which led less glucuronic acid content in pulp after enzyme hydrolysis. Cellulase only containing enzyme was more effective than cellulase and xylan mixture or water retention value increase as 51% up vs 41% up. Cellulase only enzyme was more effective than cellulase and xylanase mixture in enhancing fiber fibrillation, which led to more water retention. - COLLAPSE

    In the analysis of dyeing cultural heritage, Color is one of the factors used for estimating dyestuffs, and dyestuff color changes due to aging must be examined. This study analyzed the degradation characteristics of powdered natural dyestuffs using a spectrophotometer. The dyestuffs used in the assessment to color fastness experiment included Sappan wood for red dyeing, Amur cork tree for yellow dyeing, indigo for blue dyeing, cupules of acorns for brown dyeing, and gallnuts for black dyeing. The powdered dyestuffs were subjected to ultraviolet(UV) irradiation as well as dry thermal, and wet thermal accelerated aging. Dyestuff powder pellets were prepared to measure color changes before and after accelerated aging. Results of dyestuff pellet color analysis showed that the Sappan wood exhibited the best color fastness under UV irradiation and the worst under dry thermal aging. Similarly, Amur cork, acorn cupule, and gallnut dyestuffs displayed good color fastness under UV irradiation but poor color fastness under wet thermal aging. By contrast, indigo dyestuff exhibited excellent color fastness under all aging conditions. - COLLAPSE
