conditions of 23  C and 50% relative humidity. After preconditioning for at least 48 h in the standard environment, five thicknesses of the sample in differ- ent locations were measured using a precision thick- ness gauge (Hanatek FT3, UK), and the results were averaged. Six strips with a width of 5 mm were used for the actual strength measurements. The tensile tests were performed with a Zwick D0724587 (Switzer- land) universal material testing machine using a 100 N load cell (Table 3). During the tensile tests, six replicates of each sample were tested using the standard conditions of 23  C temperature and 50% relative humidity. The gauge length was adjusted to 40 mm at a strain rate of 4 mm/min.

The surface structure of different handsheets was visualized directly from the surface of the prepared handsheets, which were sputtered with platinum before observation under the FESEM with 5 kV voltage.

Testing the strength properties of the nanopapers produced from board treated with CNF

Nanopapers were produced by filtration of 0.3 g (abs) of the fibrillated board samples on a polyvinylidene fluoride membrane (Durapore) with a pore size of 0.65 l m and a diameter of 70 mm. After filtration, the wet sheets were covered with a similar membrane and then dried with a Rapid–Ko¨then sheet dryer (Karl Schro¨der KG, Germany) under a vacuum of 0.1 bar at a temperature of 93  C for 10 min (ISO 5269-2:2004). The samples were stored at ISO 187 standard
