Transparent Paper

The purpose of this project is to prepare cellulose-based, transparent, ductile films with good barrier properties at RHs below 80% in order to replace petroleum-based polymeric materials in packaging applications. Chemically modified nanocelluloses and cellulose-rich fibres will be used to make transparent paper to match the properties of petroleum-based polymers in terms of processability and characteristics while keeping the cost at similar levels.

Funding

Transparent Paper project is carried out within the Treesearch national platform and is funded through the BioInnovation strategic innovation platform, a joint effort by Vinnova, Formas and Swedish Energy Agency, as well as BillerudKorsnäs AB.
