Synthetic paper and method of manufacturing the same

Abstract

Synthetic paper and a method of manufacturing the same are provided. The synthetic paper includes a paper body and a coffee ground layer disposed on at least one side of the paper body. The coffee ground layer is disposed on the paper body by using a coating solution via a coating printing process. The coating solution includes coffee pulp, a dispersant, an adhesive, and a colorant. The coffee pulp includes the recycled coffee grounds. Hereby, this configuration has the ability to recycle the wasted coffee grounds effectively and reduce the amount of the paper pulp.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . Synthetic paper, comprising:
 a paper body which is a sheet structure;   at least one coffee ground layer disposed on at least one side of the paper body by using a coating solution via a coating-printing process, the coating solution comprising coffee pulp, a first dispersant, an adhesive, and a colorant, and the coffee pulp comprising recycled coffee grounds.   
     
     
         2 . The synthetic paper according to  claim 1 , wherein the coffee pulp accounts for 26 to 30% weight percentage of the coating solution, the first dispersant accounts for 2 to 5% weight percentage of the coating solution, the adhesive accounts for 55 to 62% weight percentage of the coating solution, and the colorant accounts for 10 to 14% weight percentage of the coating solution. 
     
     
         3 . The synthetic paper according to  claim 2 , wherein the coffee pulp accounts for 27 to 29% weight percentage of the coating solution, the first dispersant accounts for 2 to 4% weight percentage of the coating solution, the adhesive accounts for 59 to 62% weight percentage of the coating solution, and the colorant accounts for 9 to 11% weight percentage of the coating solution. 
     
     
         4 . The synthetic paper according to  claim 2 , wherein the coffee pulp comprises the coffee grounds and a second dispersant; the coffee grounds account for 61 to 64% weight percentage of the coffee pulp, and the second dispersant accounts for 36 to 39% weight percentage of the coffee pulp. 
     
     
         5 . The synthetic paper according to  claim 1 , wherein the coating solution is disposed on the at least one side of the paper body via the coating-printing process, and then baked at 65 to 75° C. for 15 to 30 seconds to form the coffee ground layer. 
     
     
         6 . A method of manufacturing synthetic paper, comprising:
 providing a paper body:   preparing a coating solution comprising coffee pulp, a first dispersant, an adhesive, and a colorant, and the coffee pulp comprising recycled coffee grounds; and   disposing the coating solution on at least one side of the paper body via a coating-printing process so as to form a coffee ground layer on the at least one side.   
     
     
         7 . The method of manufacturing synthetic paper according to  claim 6 , wherein the coffee pulp accounts for 26 to 30% weight percentage of the coating solution, the first dispersant accounts for 2 to 5% weight percentage of the coating solution, the adhesive accounts for 55 to 62% weight percentage of the coating solution, and the colorant accounts for 10 to 14% weight percentage of the coating solution. 
     
     
         8 . The method of manufacturing synthetic paper according to  claim 7 , wherein the coffee pulp accounts for 27 to 29% weight percentage of the coating solution, the first dispersant accounts for 2 to 4% weight percentage of the coating solution, the adhesive accounts for 59 to 62% weight percentage of the coating solution, and the colorant accounts for 9 to 11% weight percentage of the coating solution. 
     
     
         9 . The synthetic paper according to  claim 7 , wherein the coffee pulp comprises the coffee grounds and a second dispersant: the coffee grounds account for 61 to 64% weight percentage of the coffee pulp, and the second dispersant accounts for 36 to 39% weight percentage of the coffee pulp. 
     
     
         10 . The synthetic paper according to  claim 6 , wherein the coating solution is disposed on the at least one side of the paper body via the coating-printing process, and then baked at 65 to 75° C. for 15 to 30 seconds to form the coffee ground layer.
