• Coatability of cellulose nanofibril suspensions: Role of rheology and water retention 

      Kumar, Vinay; Ottesen, Vegar; Syverud, Kristin; Gregersen, Øyvind Weiby; Toivakka, Martti (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Cellulose nanofibril (CNF) suspensions are not easily coatable because of their excessively high viscosity and yield stress, even at low solids concentrations. In addition, CNF suspensions vary widely in their properties ...
    • Viability and properties of roll-to-roll coating of cellulose nanofibrils on recycled paperboard 

      Ottesen, Vegar; Kumar, Vinay; Toivakka, Martti; Chinga-Carrasco, Gary; Syverud, Kristin; Gregersen, Øyvind Weiby (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) are, due in large part to excellent gas barrier properties, a potential environmentally friendly alternative to inorganic and petrochemical coatings of e.g. paperboard in packaging applications. ...
