Abstract

In this work, nanokaolin (K) and nanometakaolin (MK) were synthesized from waste paper via planetary ball milling and characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared vibrational spectroscopy (FTIR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Suspensions of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and the synthesized nanominerals at 1.5, 3, 6, and 9% led to nanocomposites 30, 60, 90, and 120 μm thick. Nanocomposites coated papers were analyzed by means of XRD, FTIR, SEM, tensile index, strain rate, burst index, and air passage resistance. The highest tensile index, burst index, and air permeability resistance values of 80.78 \(\frac{N.m}{g}\), 5.24 \(\frac{kPa.{m}^{2}}{g}\), and 286.66 \(ml/min\), respectively, were obtained for CMC-9%MK-120. These results indicated that paper coated with CMC nanometakaolin composite is suitable for packaging.
