The Development of a Composite Based on Cellulose Fibres and Polyvinyl Alcohol in the Presence of Boric Acid

Boric acid was employed to improve the homogeneity and mechanical properties of a composite based on cellulose fibres and polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH). The influence of boric acid, under different pH values, on the mechanical properties cellulose fibres (handsheets) was investigated. The presence of the...
