Production of antimicrobial paper using nanosilver, nanocellulose, and chitosan from a coronavirus perspective, TAPPI Journal July 2021
ABSTRACT: The pulp and paper industry has an opportunity to play a vital role in breaking the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic through production that supports widespread use of antimicrobial paper. This paper provides a brief review of paper and paper-related industries, such as those producing relevant additives, and R&D organizations that are actively engaged in developing antimicrobial papers. The focus here is on the potential of three nano-additives for use in production of antimicrobial papers that combat coronavirus: nanosilver, nanocellulose, and chitosan. Various recent developments in relevant areas and concepts underlining the fight against coronavirus are also covered, as are related terms and concepts.

Editorial: Risks and rewards of research during a pandemic, TAPPI Journal August 2020
ABSTRACT: For universities and research institutions, the arrival of Covid-19 last spring halted activities around the world while exposing the need for detailed Public Health Emergency (PHE) plans to cope with a highly-contagious virus in laboratory and classroom settings. As classroom work switched to online platforms like Zoom, the reality set in that long-term plans were needed to safely keep students learning, research flowing, and universities financially stable.

Editorial: Special issue showcases new additive approaches for a lignocellulose-based future, TAPPI Journal January 2024
ABSTRACT: Lignocellulose-derived materials are inherently renewable and are of benefit not only through their recyclability and biodegradability, but also from carbon sequestration during the production of the base raw material. With regulatory agencies tightening restrictions and consumer habits slowly shifting, the paper industry is well positioned to fill a market need for renewable bio-based materials. Although the inherent benefits of lignocellulose-based products are many, all too often, the end-product does not meet the required performance or cost in use desired by end-users. This creates obstacles for a more renewable economy that relies less on petroleum-derived products.

Editorial: Diverse content characterizes PaperCon 2019, TAPPI Journal November 2019
ABSTRACT: PaperCon 2019 was held from May 5-8 in Indianapolis, IN. Many of us visiting Indianapolis had little or no perception of the area beyond, of course, race cars and good sports teams. We also found a lovely, walkable downtown with a myriad of restaurants, parks, historic sites, and state government. As with the diverse offerings of PaperCon 2019’s host city of Indianapolis, the conference technical program was exceptionally broad this year. In this special issue of TAPPI Journal, we share both the breadth and quality of the content presented at PaperCon 2019 through peer-reviewed papers from the conference, as described below.
