Aim of study: The purpose of this research is to evaluate the effects of applying CMC-BEN (carboxymethyl cellulose-bentonite) mixes to the surface of paper, both in terms of their impacts on paper qualities and the mixing ratios at which they were formed.
Material and method: The production of CMC-BEN mixes was prepared by combining the components at the following rates: 1/1, 1/0.5, 1/0.25 and 1/0.1. Simple coating technique was utilized in order to apply the mixes to the surfaces of the paper. Strength performances of the papers, as well as their antibacterial activities, FTIR patterns, COBB values, and SEM views were evaluated.
Main results: The solution absorption diminished with the addition of BEN to the CMC structure. The wet strength properties decreased in 100% CMC and CMC-BEN coated papers, and the dry strength and COBB values increased.
Research highlights: On the surface of the paper, mixtures based on CMC and CMC-BEN were applied, each of which was made using a different mixing ratio. It was found that the CMC-BEN mixture had a positive impact on the paper's dry strength, but it had a negative impact on wet strength properties.

Çalışmanın amacı: Bu araştırmanın amacı, CMC-BEN (karboksimetil selüloz-bentonit) karışımlarının kağıt yüzeyine uygulanmasının hem kağıt kalitesi üzerindeki etkilerini hem de karışım oranları açısından etkilerini değerlendirmektir.
Materyal ve yöntem: CMC-BEN karışımlarının üretimi, bileşenlerin belirtilen oranlarda karıştırılmasıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir: 1/1, 1/0.5, 1/0.25 ve 1/0.1. Karışımların kağıt yüzeylerine uygulanması basit kaplama tekniği kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Kağıtların sağlamlık özellikleri yanında antibakteriyel aktiviteleri, FTIR diyagramları, COBB değerleri ve SEM görüntüleri incelenmiştir.
Temel sonuçlar: CMC yapısına BEN ilavesiyle çözelti absorpsiyonu azalmıştır. %100 CMC ve CMC-BEN kaplı kağıtlarda ıslak sağlamlık özelliklerinin azalmış, kuru sağlamlık ve COBB değerleri artmıştır.
Araştırma vurguları: CMC ve farklı karışım oranlarında üretilen CMC-BEN esaslı karışımlar kağıt yüzeylerine uygulanmıştır. CMC-BEN karışımının kağıdın kuru sağlamlık ve su emme özelliklerine olumlu yönde katkı sağladığı ancak ıslak sağlamlık özelliklerine ise olumsuz etki ettiği tespit edilmiştir.
