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.

Note: The information provided above was obtained by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) and is provided as part of a centralized, transparent notification system for new standards development. The system allows SCC-accredited Standards Development Organizations (SDOs), and members of the public, to be informed of new work in Canadian standards development, and allows SCC-accredited SDOs to identify and resolve potential duplication of standards and effort.

Individual SDOs are responsible for the content and accuracy of the information presented here. The text is presented in the language in which it was provided to SCC.
