Enzymatic modification of woody cell walls for improved stability of pulp fibres

Enzymatic modification of woody cell walls for improved stability of pulp fibres

The bonding of fibres in paper is influenced by environmental changes (e.g. moisture) that may cause unstable fibres to move. These movements include cell-wall swelling, fibre lifting and/or puffing that break inter-fibre bonds and lead to reduced strength and surface roughness. Fibre puffing is def...
