This work represents a fundamental effort to improve the knowledge how multifunctional polyelectrolytes affect the physical properties of fibers and the paper made from these fibers. Throughout this work, the anionic charge of the fibers were modified with a well-known method: irreversible adsorption of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) onto the fibers. This modification amplified the sometimes weak effect that the naturally occurring anionic charge in fibers has on the physical properties of paper. First, increasing the anionic charge of the fibers increased the strength properties of the paper and also water retention. In contrast, drying and then rewetting the fibers decreased the strength and water retention of the fibers. However, treat...
