Abstract

HYPOTHESIS: TiO

EXPERIMENTS: TiO

FINDINGS: PAE dosage of 20 mg/g cellulose provides full surface coverage of cellulose fibres. A 10 mg of PAE/g cellulose covers half the cellulose surface area and no free PAE remains in the suspension. PAE dosage of 50 mg/g cellulose gives full cellulose surface coverage and provides a large amount of PAE (30 mg/g cellulose) free in the suspension. Surprisingly, at both PAE dosages, NP coagulates and the size of the aggregates increase with NPs loading. Aggregates of two particle sizes (10 and 35 nm) are formed and the number density of smaller particles is higher than larger particle. The NPs aggregates and their retention are similar at both PAE dosages, which is explained by different PAE-NPs bridging mechanisms.
