Paper manufacturing and converting involves a multitude of surface chemical interactions.
Beating, stock preparation, coating and converting processes are steps where surface …

This study compares two approaches to determine the surface energy of solids, and its acid-
base components in particular: inverse gas chromatography (IGC) and analysis of contact …

The dispersive component of the surface free energies (γsd) of commercial active carbons
(AC) from various origins were determined by inverse gas chromatography at infinite dilution …

Surface characteristic changes to poplar after ammonia and organosolv pretreatments were
investigated by means of time‐of‐flight secondary‐ion mass spectrometry (TOF‐SIMS) …

The surface free energy of modified silica fillers and poly (ethylene terephthalate)(PET)
fibers was analyzed by inverse gas chromatography in order to investigate the relationship …

Thermal and catalytic pyrolysis are efficient processes for the transformation of biomass to
bio-oil, a liquid energy carrier and a general source of chemicals. The elucidation of the bio …

Surfaces of hemp fibers with different treatments:(1) as received;(2) water washed; and (3)
treated with NaOH, were examined using a combination of conventional Scanning Electron …

The reactivity and adsorption properties of cellulose fibres are critical for successful
treatment because behavior during the finishing process is determined by both structure and …

The substantial part of the water-soluble hemicellulose fraction, obtained when processing
cellulose to produce paper and other products, has so far been discarded. The aim of this …

Many current and potential uses of cellulosic materials depend critically on the character of
their surfaces. This review of the scientific literature considers both well-established and …
