Paper Products Physics and Technology

This Volume examines the physical properties of paper and modern demands on this versatile material. The book presents

fundamental definitions of fibre networks and their structure,

physical properties of the paper and their development during pressing and drying,

intractions with moisture and its affect on mechanical properties,

interactions between light and fibrous materials and the determination of optical properties of the paper,

physical action of dry-strength and wet-strength chemicals,

physical properties of the paper surface with special emphasis on printing and print quality,

overview of packaging materials and the demands on paper from a packaging materials perspective,

laminate theories for papermakers and theoretical models of paper for coverting and end-uses.
