Abstract

Characterization of micro-fibrillated cellulose fiber suspension flow using multi scale velocity profile measurements

Highlights

  • As potential ingredients for novel bio-based materials and high-end products, Microfibrillated Cellulose (MFC) materials are subject of active research and of commercial interest within forest industry

  • In this work we report results on rheological and boundary layer flow properties of a MFC suspension, obtained by a novel in-line rheological method (Salmela et al 2013) utilizing velocity profiling

  • The final MFC suspensions used in the flow experiments were obtained by diluting the original MFC by deionized water to mass concentrations of 0.4%, 1.0% and 1.6% using high intensity mixing by an overhead stirrer (Glas-Col)
