Functionalized Mechanical Paper and Board Grades Using NCC/NFC/Nano‐pigment Structuring

Led by Dr. Patrice Mangin, this project is a collaboration between Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières and GL&V, a leading global provider of technological solutions used in pulp and paper production. The aim of the project is to use innovative equipment provided by GL&V  to apply nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) and nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) to the surface of paper in a way that maximizes retention. The improved strength and surface properties will create new paper grades from mechanical pulp.
