Multifunctional starch-based barrier materials, TAPPI Journal August 2021

ABSTRACT: Natural and renewable polymer-based barrier materials play an inevitable role in a sustainable economy. Most commercially available barrier materials are either based on multiple layers of synthetic polymers or petroleum-based chemicals. Tremendous amounts of research are being done in academia and industry to replace these synthetic barrier materials with natural and environmentally friendly materials. The current work summarizes the application of starch-based materials for various barrier applications, such as water vapor, oxygen, liquid water, oil, and grease. Also, exotic starch-based barrier materials for the application of sound, ultraviolet, and thermal barrier applications are reviewed. The potential of starch-based materials to offer antimicrobial and antiviral properties is discussed. Finally, commercially available starch-based barrier materials have been summarized.

Simplified modeling of a complete rotary lime kiln at a pulp mill, TAPPI Journal February 2026

ABSTRACT: Rotary lime kilns are essential and complex components in pulp mills using the kraft process. They are primarily used to produce lime (CaO), which is then employed to make white liquor, the reagent used to separate wood fibers. To understand and improve the performance of the kiln, modeling its behavior is essential. However, the kiln operates through a complex combination of thermal and chemical phenomena. That is why a simplified approach was used to tackle this challenge. A zero/one-dimensional steady-state analysis was performed based on first principles to simplify the modeling process and reduce the need for experimental data. Additional assumptions, such as steady-state operation and the absence of a refractory lining, were introduced to further simplify the model so that it can be used for daily analysis. Moreover, the auxiliary equipment of the plant, such as the intercooler and preheat cyclone, is also modeled. The final model was validated using data from the literature and a two-month analysis of experimental measure-ments from the Burgo Ardennes lime kiln in Virton, Belgium. It shows good agreement with the available data, with a 6% deviation for the adiabatic flame temperature and a 17% average error in predicting the kiln shell outside temperature. For the fuel and lime flow rate predictions, also validated over the same two-month period, the errors were -6.6% and 0.6%, respectively.

Development of a packaging test method, TAPPI Journal February 2026

ABSTRACT: Innovation in packaging design will be facilitated by a simple test method to indicate whether a product is compatible with paper recycling. Three laboratories cooperated on the development of a method and used it on linerboard, coated paperboard, wet-strength paperboard, and white copy paper. This test method includes pulping and screening. The data presented here illustrate the factors affecting the results of a bench-scale test. Our observations show that a bench-scale test can give reproducible results for yield, < 5%. We also present an approach to contaminant assessment based on current published test methods. A specification with a lower limit on yield of 70% and a contaminant level of less than 5,000 particles/kg is proposed.

Guest Editorial: Carrying forward the tradition of fundamental research, TAPPI Journal June 2026

Since its first symposium in 1957, the Fundamental Research Symposium has evolved around fundamental research themes aimed at scientifically understanding papermaking. The symposium is organized by the Fundamental Research Committee (FRC), which is operated by the Fundamental Research Society (FRS). The unique format of the symposium, held at universities such as Oxford and Cambridge where participants stay together, fosters intensive academic exchange and collegial interaction.
