Abstract
Novel types of fibre-based packaging materials are the
promising direction in the product portfolio of modern
biorefineries. Despite of the adavantageous features of
fibre-based packaging material such as: biodegradability,
recyclability and renewability, it is lacking the level
of formability that plastic packaging materials do have.
The formability of material determines how advanced
shapes can be formed for the end product. In respect to
the paper-based packaging, high formability would allow
to produce containers, trays, shells etc. with an
advanced design, using deep-drawing or corresponding type
of forming process.
The influence of high-consistency refining, and
combination of high and low consistency refining as well
as the spraying of different biopolymers on the
formability, strength properties and drying shrinkage of
the samples has been evaluated in this work. By combining
of the above-mentioned treatments it was possible to
improve formability strain of the samples from 6.5% to
13.5%
