Creating Fibrillated cellulose through enzyme treatments for strength and barrier properties

纸浆是不列颠哥伦比亚省最大的出口商品，也是加拿大最大的出口产业之一。这项研究的直接目的是通过更好地了解微纤维纤维素(MFC)的生产来提高这一战略行业的竞争力。*与酶处理相结合的LC打浆是将造纸纤维打浆以提高纸张强度的过程。在极端条件下，这些处理可以产生一种令人兴奋的新材料，MFC，它正在迅速进入传统的纸浆和纸张应用。MFC是一种屈服应力悬浮，这项工作的愿景是在MFC的形态结构和工艺条件之间建立联系。建议与加拿大Domtar进行为期一年的合作项目，其中将由1名博士后研究员和1名本科生助理1**进行研究。

Pulp is BC's largest export and one of Canada's largest export industries. This research is directly aimed at improving the competitiveness of this strategic industry through a better understanding of the production of microfibrillated cellulose (MFC). ****LC refining in conjunction with enzymatic treatments is process in which the papermaking fibre is beaten for the purpose of enhancing paper strength. Under extreme conditions, these treatments can produce an exciting new material, MFC, which is rapidly finding inroads into traditional pulp and paper applications. MFC is a yield stress suspension and the vision of this work is to create a linkage between the morphological structure of MFC with process conditions. A 1 year collaborative program with Domtar (Canada) is proposed in which the research will be conducted by 1 post doctoral fellow and 1 undergraduate assistant 1**
