The pigment particles are hydrophobically treated with the surface tension of the pigment particles being from 0.1 to 50 mN/m, and the surface tension difference between the pigment particles and the thermoplastic polymer being less than 40 mN/m; and b) from 30 wt. % to 85 wt. % a paper pulp. Process of making such a new paper composition.

The invention relates to a transfer material for dye sublimation processes, comprising a base paper, which is coated on one side with a color-receiving layer, wherein the base paper contains at least 1.5% by weight, based on the mass of the pulp, of a polymer dispersion selected from the group consisting of polyacrylates, polyesters, polyolefins or mixtures thereof. The invention further relates to a process for producing a transfer material according to the invention, comprising the steps of: (a) producing a base paper on a paper machine, wherein at least 1.5% by weight, based on the mass of the pulp, of a polymer dispersion selected from the group consisting of polyacrylates, polyesters, polyolefins or mixtures thereof are added to the pulp suspension during production of the base paper; (b) drying and smoothing the base paper; (c) applying the color-receiving layer to a surface of the base paper; and (d) drying the transfer material obtained in step (c). The invention further relates to a process for transferring an image onto a receiving material by sublimation, wherein a transfer material according to the invention is printed with an image by way of the inkjet printing process, and the image is transferred onto a receiving material by sublimation.

A new polystyrene-nanocellulose composite material is disclosed. The composite may contain about 0.01 wt % to about 10 wt %, such as about 0.1 wt % to about 2 wt % of nanocellulose. In some embodiments, the nanocellulose is lignin-coated nanocellulose, such as lignin-coated nanocellulose is obtained from an AVAP biomass-fractionation process. The nanocellulose may include cellulose nanocrystals and/or cellulose nanofibrils. The polymer composite may be in the form of a polymer melt, or a finished polymer material. The composite is characterized by IZOD impact resistance that is at least 50% (such as 75% or more) higher compared to the polystyrene alone.
