Some of the major challenges of our time drive the use of renewable and biodegradable products, like cellulose. When cellulose is disintegrated into its elemental constituents, microfibrils, unique properties arise. Microfibrillated cellulose, with its high surface area and huge bonding capacity, can enhance the strength of many products from paper to thermoplastics. The purpose of this thesis is to prove that a continuous, commercial production of microfibrillated cellulose for papermaking applications by refining is feasible. Main experiments were carried out with ProLabTM laboratory refiner using bleached hardwood kraft pulp. Produced microfibrillated cellulose was characterized as itself and as a fraction in laboratory sheets. The li...
