Paper is ubiquitous in everyday life and a truly low‐cost substrate. The use of paper
substrates could be extended even further, if electronic applications would be applied next …

Paper production requires large amounts of cellulosic fiber, whereas the world's forested
lands and croplands have a finite capacity to supply such resources. To deal with likely …

We introduce the design of Janus-type paper sheets where one side of the paper exhibits
superhydrophobic properties, whereas the other side of the sheet remains hydrophilic and …

In this work we have investigated the effect of surface modification of fibres on the overall
mechanical properties of high-density papers. Paper sheets were prepared by a …

Paper is a widely used packaging material and is nowadays regaining importance, eg, as
bio-based and biodegradable material. Moreover, new technologies such as polymer–fiber …

Strategic combinations of cellulosic materials with electrically conductive polymers or
nanoconductors offer important potential advantages for technological advances, light …

Theoretical aspects of swelling... Adsorption, wetting, permeation Osmotic pressure............

The hygroexpansion of paper was significantly reduced, up to 28% lower amplitude of
change when the paper was subjected to a change in relative humidity from 20 to 85% RH …

The hygro-thermo-expansive response of fibrous networks involves deformation
phenomena at multiple length scales. The moisture or temperature induced expansion of …

Many plant materials in nature have the ability to change their shape to respond to external
stimuli, such as humidity or moisture, to ensure their survival or safe seed release. A well …
