  • METHOD OF PRODUCING AND THE USE OF MICROFIBRILLATED PAPER
    Publication number: 20100065236
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of producing a cellulose based paper, the paper itself and the use thereof where the paper exhibits enhanced mechanical properties. The method involves providing a suspension of well dispersed modified cellulose at a low concentration. The properties and the chemical structure of the paper make it suitable for in vivo applications such as implant material.
