A process of converting cellulosic fibers to a superhydrophobic fiber product by internal and surface applications of calcium carbonate in combination with bio-wax post-treatment

Abstract

To convert cellulosic fibers to a superhydrophobic fiber product (i.e., cellulosic paper), the simple concept involving wet-end and surface applications of calcium carbonate in combination with bio-wax post-treatment was proposed and demonstrated.
