Abstract
To produce high strength handmade
paper, handmade was reinforced by jute fibre
along with/without internal additives (rosin, wax
etc.), external additive such as Microcrystalline
Cellulose(MCC) suspension. Optimum result was
obtained when MCC suspension was applied as
external additive along with reinforcement .The
strength was increased by 34.69 % due to
reinforcement and application of MCC
suspension as external additive. The application
of rosin along with reinforcement did not play
any a significant role in imparting strength and
application of wax emulsion hampered the
strength of paper.
