HYDROPHOBIZATION OF BLEACHED SOFTWOOD KRAFT FIBERS VIA ADSORPTION OF ORGANO-NANOCLAY

Montmorillonite clay particles that had been prepared with an alklyl-ammonium surfactant were used to modify the moisture-sensitivity of bleached softwood kraft fibers through solvent exchange and adsorption methods. Moisture absorption and water uptake of the wood pulp fibers were significantly low...
