Editorial: The emergence of AI in additives development, TAPPI Journal March 2025
ABSTRACT: The continuing evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) and its penetration into the core of the world of papermaking were undeniable at TAPPICon 2024 and especially within the content presented and sponsored by TAPPI’s Papermaking Additives Committee. On one side of the spectrum, there were traditional methods of chemical development and application grounded in natural intelligence, while on the other, there was the emerging presence of algorithmic decision-making and machine learning within the development cycle. The latter technology is brimming with the kind of promise that could reshape how additives are conceived, developed, and applied, turning what was once a matter of trial and error into something far more precise and previously out of reach.

Improved barrier performance with microfibrillated cellulose, TAPPI Journal March 2025
ABSTRACT: In this work, the impact of microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) on the properties of water-based barrier coatings intended for food packaging have been explored. Commercially available MFC was used for improving the rheology and water retention of three different commercially available dispersion coatings (acrylic, styrene acrylic, and polylactic acid). Coatings were applied by rod to paper, and barrier properties were tested by measuring air permeability and water barrier properties. Results clearly showed that addition of MFC to water-based dispersion coatings improved the barrier performance of the final coatings.

Hydrogen peroxide and caustic soda: Dancing with a dragon while bleaching,TAPPI Journal December 2024
Peter W. Hart, Carl Houtman, and Kilby Hirth | TAPPI J. 12(7): 59(2013) - ABSTRACT: When hydrogen peroxide is mixed with caustic soda, an auto-accelerating reaction can lead to generation of significant amounts of heat and oxygen. On the basis of experiments using typical pulp mill process concentration and temperatures, a relatively simple kinetic model has been developed. Evaluation of these model results reveals that hydrogen peroxide-caustic soda systems are extremely sensitive to hydrogen peroxide:caustic soda ratio, transition metal contamination, and temperature. Small changes in initial conditions can result in a closed system becoming explosive. Analysis of model results was used to develop guidelines for safer application of hydrogen peroxide in a mill setting.
