With the arising of global climate change and resource shortage, in recent years, increased
attention has been paid to environmentally friendly materials. Trees are sustainable and …

Wet foam can be used as a carrier in the manufacturing of lightweight materials based on
natural and man-made fibers and specific additives. Using a foam forming method and …

The process of papermaking requires substantial amounts of energy and wood
consumption, which contributes to larger environmental costs. In order to optimize the …

Dyeing of one pair of blue denim jeans consumes about 50–100 liters of water loaded with
toxic reducing agents and alkali that remain as effluents in wastewater. Here we introduce …

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 …

Paper and paperboard are widely used in packaging products. The material behavior of
paper and paperboard is very complex because different scales need to be considered in …

The interactions of textiles with moisture have been thoroughly studied in textile research,
while fluid mechanists and soft matter physicists have partially investigated the underlying …

Damage accumulation and failure in random fiber networks is of importance in a variety of
applications, from design of synthetic materials, such as paper and non-wovens, to …

Many materials have a network of fibers as their main structural component and are referred
to as network materials. Their strength and toughness are important in both engineering and …

The objective of this work was to investigate the influence of hydrogen bonds between fibres
on static and dynamic strength properties of paper. A commercial bleached pinewood kraft …
