Abstract
Methods of making paper or paperboard having enhanced dry strength are provided. An enzyme and a polymer including at least one of a cationic water-soluble polymer and an amphoteric water-soluble polymer can be added to a papermaking pulp to yield a treated pulp. The treated pulp can then be formed into paper or paperboard having a dry strength greater than paper or paperboard formed from papermaking pulp without the addition of the enzyme and polymer. Any suitable enzyme can be used, for example, a laccase or a cellulase. Any suitable polymer can be used. For example, at least one of a glyoxylated polyacrylamide (gPAM), a polyvinylamine, a decarboxylated polyacrylamide, and a dimethylamine-epichlorohydrin (epi-DMA).
