    摘要: An intermediate laminate product includes a first paper layer including lignocellulose fibers, and a dry coating layer applied to one surface of the first paper layer, the coating including expandable microspheres having an expansion temperature (TE), at least one polysaccharide, and a plasticizing additive which is capable of forming a thermoplastic blend with the polysaccharide. An expanded laminate structure includes the intermediate laminate product and a second paper layer comprising lignocellulose fibers, which is attached to the dry coating by heat lamination. A liquid packaging board includes the expanded laminate structure and a liquid barrier layer. A process for forming the expanded laminate structure includes applying a second paper layer to the coating of the intermediate product at a second temperature (T2), which is above the expansion temperature (TE) of the microspheres, whereby the microspheres expand, and at which the plasticizing additive causes plasticizing of the polysaccharide, to form a thermoplastic blend.

    摘要: A method of preparing a sizing boost additive, includes: I) combining a lignin oil and an aqueous solution of gelatinized cationic polysaccharide to obtain a lignin/polysaccharide blend, wherein the lignin oil is obtained by base catalyzed depolymerization of lignin; and the gelatinized cationic polysaccharide is prepared by cooking dry cationic polysaccharide in water until completely gelatinized; and wherein a weight ratio of lignin oil:polysaccharide in the blend is 1:0.5-2, where the weight of the polysaccharide is the weight of dry polysaccharide added in preparation of the aqueous solution of gelatinized cationic polysaccharide; and the combined weight of lignin and polysaccharide is 1-10 wt-% based on the total weight of the resulting blend; followed by II) mixing the lignin/polysaccharide blend at a temperature of 40-100° C., until the blend has changed color from grey-white to brown.
