Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Paper Chemistry
  • Surface Engineering

Background:

  • Micro-/nanofibrillated celluloses (M/NFCs) show potential for enhancing paper properties.
  • Challenges exist in utilizing M/NFCs for low weight gain coatings.
  • Improving paper printability is a key industrial objective.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the application of M/NFCs in paper surface coatings.
  • To evaluate the impact of M/NFCs on paper printing quality.
  • To explore the combined effects of M/NFCs with additives on coating performance.

Main Methods:

  • M/NFCs were prepared using mechanical, enzymatic, TEMPO-mediated oxidation, and cationization pre-treatments.
  • Uniform coating formulations were developed by co-cooking starch with M/NFCs.
  • Coatings were applied via roll coating at low dry weights (1.5–3 g/m²).

Main Results:

  • M/NFCs significantly improved paper printing quality.
  • Additives such as betaine hydrochloride (BetHCl) and Pluronics enhanced print quality and optical density.
  • Cationic M/NFCs improved gamut area, while BetHCl helped retain paper whiteness.

Conclusions:

  • M/NFCs are effective in low-weight paper surface coatings for improved printability.
  • Synergistic effects were observed between M/NFCs and additives like BetHCl and Pluronics.
  • Optimized formulations offer a pathway to enhance coated paper performance.
