Description
Summary:Paper is constantly in demand worldwide for use in printing, packaging, and other applications. This is because additional contemporary uses of paper have been discovered. Alternatives to wood and less costly raw materials are currently being sourced in order to meet the rising demand brought on by a beneficial technological disruption. The majority of papers are crafted from virgin wood pulp from hardwood sources, but recently, softwood has earned enormous potential as an alternative to hard wood since the hardwood takes a substantial number of years to grow sufficiently to be used in the paper and pulp industry in contrast to softwood, which are primarily annual plants. It has been suggested that a number of agricultural food crop leftovers, such as rice husks, maize straw, okra stalks, corn stalks, banana bunches, pineapple leaves, and corn husks, which in many places do not have immediate practical applications, could be sources of pulp. This investigation examines the strength characteristics of paper samples made from a pulp mix of corn husks.
