Nanocrystalline Cellulose and Polyvinyl Alcohol Coating Application to Cardboard Packaging Papers and Investigation of the Effects on Paper Properties

摘要

Packaging materials are widely used in various field, mainly cosmetics, food and beverages. These materials can be based on glass, aluminium, plastic and cellulose. The cellulose-based substrates are widely used in various industries such as packaging thanks to their high endurance, flexibility, low-cost and recycla-bility [1]. In comparison to other materials, the cellulose-based packaging materials have preferable superior properties in terms of their being lightweight, biodegradable, recyclable, eco-friendly and having lower cost [2-4].
