Scope:

This Standard describes methods for the preparation of low-basis weight handsheets of cellulose filaments (CF) and CF-reinforced pulp handsheets to be used for physical testing. This Standard also covers the preparation of low-basis weight handsheets of cellulose microfibrils (CMF) and cellulose nanofibrils (CNF).

Project need:

The need to develop high-value applications of wood pulp fibres has prompted significant efforts by the Canadian pulp and paper industry to apply the unique properties and improve the production of cellulose nanomaterials (CNM) derived from pulp fibres. Methodologies in a new standard for the preparation of cellulose filaments (CF), CF-reinforced pulp, cellulose microfibrils (CMF), or cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) handsheets will assist in evaluating material performance for the production of paper or tissue.
