Impact of compaction parameters on the mechanical properties of highly extensible paper

The possibility of producing three-dimensional advanced paper structures create the conditions for replacing plastic-based solutions or plastic details in packaging with multi-material and contributes in an essential way to strategies for a sustainable social development . Within this context, the project deals with the challenge of producing highly stretchable paper for 3D forming applications through in-plane compaction . The final goal is to identify and evaluate the impact of different compaction parameters in the final mechanical properties of highly extensible paper for the highest possible degree of stretchability to be achieved.
