Potential of fibers for high performance paper

A function of fiber is categorized into 3 groups as the function originated with properties of raw material of fibers, with manufacturing processes or conditions of fibers, and with blend spinning or after treatment of functional materials on fibers. In order to apply the function of fibers to the future high performance papers, it is suggested that the development of new binder fiber which has high performance as same as its of main fibers in paper or which utilizes the anti-function against the generally appreciated functions of the fiber should be considered.
