“…In contrast to the ribbon‐shaped fibres used in traditional papermaking, mercerisation treatment leads to extensive swelling of the cellulose fibres which become stiffened and rod‐shaped . Vu‐Manh et al also reported that 5 M free NaOH containing FeTNa (Fe–tartaric acid–NaOH complex) solutions can lead to dramatic fibre swelling with an increase in Fe concentration of the solution and swelling time. The stiffened, rod‐shaped fibres are desirable for the production of low density paper products.…”

A novel approach was developed to fabricate structures with high bulk from curled cellulosic material and to eliminate the pulp loss occurring in conventional mercerising pulp processes. Cellulose fibres treated with acrylic resin and melamine resin were curled as a result of the cross-linking and solidification of the resins. The curled fibres brought about incompact structures of cellulose fibres with high air permeability of paper. Various influencing factors were investigated to control the air permeability of the substrates, including pulp consistency, resin amount and solidification temperature. The results showed that when the pulps at 30% consistency were treated with 10% (wt. on dry fibre) resin and solidified at 140°C, the resulting paper had similar or even better air permeability than that made from the mercerised pulps.
