RADICAL FORMATION ON CTMP FIBERS BY ARGON PLASMA TREATMENTS AND RELATED LIGNIN CHEMICAL CHANGES

The changes at molecular level induced by cold argon plasma treat-ments on fibers obtained from chemi-thermo-mechanical pulp (CTMP) fibers were investigated. The radicals formed on CTMP fibers after treatments were identified and quantified by Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. The...
