Abstract

We successfully composed a hybrid material that comprises organic polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and inorganic silica (SiO2) through a sol–gel reaction with tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS). The hybrid material was characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR). The chemical results indicated there were chemical bonds between SiO2 and PVA. The handsheet testing showed that folding strength, tensile strength, tearing strength, and picking velocity were increased by 22.3%, 35%, 26%, and 26%, respectively, when the hybrid material was used at a coat weight of 61 g/m2. In addition, strength development of the hybrid increases by using an oxidized starch at a 3:1 addition ratio.
