Effect of Cationic Polyacrylamide and Antibacterial Nanosilver on Banknote Paper Properties Omid Yazdani,a,* Ghasem Asadpour,a Esmaeil Rasooly Garmaroody,b and Reza Imani c a: Department of wood and paper, agriculture and natural resource university, Sari, Iran; b: Department of Cellulose and Paper Technology, Faculty of New technologies and Energy Engineering, Shahid Beheshti University, Campus 1, Mazandaran, Iran; c: Graduate Ph.D. of Islamic Azad University, science and research branch, Tehran Iran; * Corresponding author: omidyazdani29@yahoo.com Banknotes have been an integral part of buying and selling for many years. There are about 7 billion Banknote leaves in Iran that have been in circulation in a 5-year period. This amount of Banknotes and the frequency with which they are touched can promote transmission of many pathogenic factors, especially bacteria. Based on scientific research results, Banknotes are seriously contaminated and must be considered a potential danger to society. In this study, for antibacterial Banknote paper production, 100ppm of Nanosilver was used as an antibacterial agent accompanied by cationic polyacrylamide as retention aid. The results showed that handsheets strengths decreased with increasing of Nanosilver absorption, but antibacterial properties of handsheets increased by increasing of Nanosilver absorption so that the most antibacterial properties for handsheets were achieved at the 1% level of retention aid addition.

The Paper Industry Technical Association (PITA) is an independent organisation which operates for the general benefit of its members – both individual and corporate – dedicated to promoting and improving the technical and scientific knowledge of those working in the UK pulp and paper industry. Formed in 1960, it serves the Industry, both manufacturers and suppliers, by providing a forum for members to meet and network; it organises visits, conferences and training seminars that cover all aspects of papermaking science. It also publishes the prestigious journal Paper Technology and the PITA Annual Review , both sent free to members, and a range of other technical publications which include conference proceedings and the acclaimed Essential Guide to Aqueous Coating .
