This study developed a sustainable, solvent-free paper coating using acrylic monomers. The new coating enhances paper

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Polymer Chemistry
  • Sustainable Manufacturing

Background:

  • Packaging demands eco-friendly materials and production.
  • Traditional coatings often involve volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Purpose of the Study:

  • Develop a solvent-free, photopolymerizable paper coating.
  • Enhance paper properties for packaging applications.
  • Promote sustainable material solutions.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesized a copolymer from 2-ethylhexyl acrylate and isobornyl methacrylate.
  • Created 100% solids coating formulations using monomers as reactive solvents.
  • Applied coatings to paper and evaluated properties like pick-up, mechanical strength, air/water resistance.

Main Results:

  • Achieved pick-up values up to 32 g/m² with two coating layers.
  • Improved air barrier properties (Gurley's resistivity ≈25 s).
  • Significantly increased water contact angle (>120°) and reduced water absorption (Cobb values down to 11 g/m²).

Conclusions:

  • Solventless formulations demonstrate potential for hydrophobic paper.
  • Coated papers show enhanced barrier properties suitable for packaging.
  • The approach offers a quick, effective, and sustainable method for paper modification.
