Journal ArticleDOI
Application and interpretation of zero and short-span testing on nanofibre sheet materials
TL;DR: In this article, the use of zerospan testing to measure the tensile strength of cellulose nanofibre sheets was investigated, and the results showed that the zero or short span strength is measuring sheet tensile strengths at a smaller sample length.
Journal ArticleDOI
Engineering cellulose nanofibre suspensions to control filtration resistance and sheet permeability
Qing Li,Praveena Raj,Fatema Hasan Abdulla Abbas Husain,Swambabu Varanasi,Thomas J. Rainey,Gil Garnier,Warren Batchelor +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of adding polyelectrolytes to cellulose nanofibre suspensions on the gel point of the suspension is examined and quantified, which is the lowest solids concentration at which the suspension forms a continuous network.
Journal ArticleDOI
Superior non-woven sheet forming characteristics of low-density cationic polymer-cellulose nanofibre colloids
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the addition of cationic polymers, such as polyamide-amine-epichlorohydrin (PAE) and polyamide polyacrylamide (CPAM), to cellulose nanofibres to produce superior forming characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intrinsic tensile properties of cocoon silk fibres can be estimated by removing flaws through repeated tensile tests
TL;DR: The fibres with reduced flaws as a result of retests in the tested section have a tensile strength and toughness comparable to naturally spun dragline spider silk with a reported strength of 574 MPa and toughness of 91–158 MJ m−3, which is used as a benchmark for developing high-performance fibres.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adsorption of cationic polyacrylamide at the cellulose–liquid interface: A neutron reflectometry study
Jielong Su,Christopher J. Garvey,Stephen A. Holt,Richard Francis Tabor,Bjorn Winther-Jensen,Warren Batchelor,Gil Garnier +6 more
TL;DR: For high molecular weight cationic polyacrylamide adsorbed from solution under constant conditions, the adsorption layer can be varied by 1 order of magnitude via control of the variables affecting electrostatic intra- and inter-polymer chain interactions.
