Abstract
Paper-based packaging materials as renewable materials ha
packaging. The objective of this study was to produce a
thermoformable network composed of cellulosic fibers and
bio-based thermoplastic polymers with high formability.
Bleached softwood kraft pulp was mechanically treated in
two stages using high and low consistency refining
sequentially. Chemical treatment using oxyalkylation
method was applied to modify the fiber material,
especially the fiber surface and its compatibility with
polymer dispersions. This study presents laboratory scale
manufacturing methods for compositions that improved the
extensibility of paper. The extensibility of the paper
was measured with a novel experimental method that
simulated the process conditions in thermoforming. The
results showed that by choosing the pulp treatment
method, the chemical composition and the thermoforming of
the paper is not a direct function of the extensibility
of the applied polymer.
