Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Although pulp and paper production is a mature process, there are still challenges and opportunities for the paper and pulp industries. Continuous technological improvements can further reduce environmental impacts and optimize the use of resources such as raw materials, water, and energy. This Special Issue aims to provide readers with new advances in improving product quality and process efficiency, reducing environmental impact and production costs, and expanding the ability to use different novel materials.
This Special Issue will cover all topics related to novel pulp and paper materials and technologies. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Pulp and paper characterization;
- Paper quality;
- Paper strength;
- Process efficiency;
- Production costs;
- Cellulose composites;
- Biocomposites;
- Cellulose nanofibril;
- TMP refiner plates.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Prof. Dr. Chul-Hwan Kim
Guest Editor
