Surface Characterization of Nanoparticle Coated Paperboard

Stepien M., Saarinen J.J., Teisala H., Tuominen M., Aromaa M., Kuusipalo J., Mäkelä J.M., Toivakka M., Abo Akademi University, FI

Both surface topographical and chemical composition of nanoparticle coated paperboard was characterized to explain observed differences in surface wettability. TiO2 particles induce superhydrophobicity with water contact angle (CA) of 161° whereas SiO2 particles result in [...]

Flame Deposition of Superhydrophobic and Superhydrophilic Nanoparticle Coatings on Paperboard Materials

Aromaa M., Haapanen J., Teisala H., Tuominen M., Stepien M., Saarinen J.J., Toivakka M., Kuusipalo J., Mäkelä J.M., Tampere University of Technology, FI

Liquid Flame Spray is one of the flame aerosol methods for the nanoparticle synthesis. Here, it is used in depositing the particles directly on a moving roll-to-roll substrate. The deposition process is performed in a [...]
