Abstract Structural Mapping of Paper Towels ABSTRACT STRUCTURAL MAPPING OF PAPER TOWELS: COMPARISON OF TWIN LASER PROFILOMETRY AND SYNCHROTRON X-RAY MICRO-COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY by Yan Huang This investigation was to compare the structural properties, of commercial available single ply paper towels, as they vary in X-Y plane. The focus was to quantify the differences in selected regions of interest, as measured by two analytical methods, non-contact Twin Laser Profilometry (TLP) and synchrotron X-ray micro-computed tomography (XRμCT). The thickness and out-of-plane deformation (OPD) distributions were mapped using a TLP and XRμCT. The XRμCT samples were further used to calculate for the mass center surface. TLP enables web structures to be mapped to a micrometer resolution over 12.5mm regions. Synchrotron X-ray microtomography method provides sub-micrometer resolution of the complete volumetric structure (1.4mm1.4 mm thickness (μm)) for the imaged region. The features of individual fibers are revealed by XRμCT method, so that the true surface geometry may be quantified.

Abstract Paper-based microfluidics devices can create a new healthcare model. Cellulose is carbohydrate polymer biocompatible and hydrophilic. These characteristics enhance the development of user- friendly diagnostic devices, but the link between paper manufacturing process and performance of the devices is still unclear. Previous studies focused on either commercial papers or lab papers from wood-cellulose fibers, with different basis-weight. This work introduces the effect of refining process and lab paper from non-wood-cellulose fibers, focusing on sisal fibers to overcome the aforementioned challenge. Structural characteristics of paper, such as basis-weight and degree of refining, are optimized and correlated with blood typing test resolution. Unrefined sisal paper of 50 g/m2 and 100 g/m2 basis-weight exhibit a higher gray intensity level than refined paper, and also maximal capillary rise and a pore size suitable for blood grouping tests. Two different blood types were evaluated with results consistent with the traditional methods, testifying the usefulness of this methodology.

Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a influência da adição de diferentes porcentagens de celulose nanofibrilada sobre as propriedades mecânicas e físicas do papel feito a partir da polpa de fibras curtas. A celulose nanofibrilada foi obtida a partir de polpa Kraft de Eucalyptus sp. branqueada, submetida a três diferentes passes no moinho: 2, 10 e 20 passes. Os papéis foram produzidos com a adição de celulose nanofibrilada nas porcentagens de 3, 6 e 9%. Os resultados mostraram que a adição de celulose nanofibrilada aumentou as propriedades mecânicas: índice de tração, índice de arrebentamento e índice de rasgo. A porosidade e a densidade aparente diminuíram. A adição de 9% de celulose nanofibrilada, obtida a partir de 2 passes, proporcionou os melhores resultados com aumento da resistência à tração, arrebentamento e rasgo de 111, 114 e 70%, respectivamente, em comparação aos papéis normais. A melhoria das propriedades mecânicas do papel está relacionada à rede muito densa de ligações de hidrogênio, resultando em maior área de superfície obtida após a desfibrilação.

  • The Reference Measurements of the Paper Laboratory
    Saimaa University of Applied Sciences Technology Imatra Degree Programme in Paper Technology Petri Penttinen THE REFERENCE MEASUREMENTS OF THE PAPER LABORATORY Thesis 2012 ABSTRACT Petri Penttinen The Reference Measurements of the Paper Laboratory, 55 pages, 9 appen- dices Saimaa University of Applied Sciences, Imatra Unit of technology, Degree Programme in Paper Technology Bachelor’s Thesis 2012 Supervisor: Lecturer Esko Lahdenperä The purpose of this bachelor’s thesis was to create a basis for reference meas- urements of papers and boards used in the paper laboratory of Saimaa Univer- sity of Applied Sciences in Imatra. Testing was focused to the most common physical properties of paper and board. The aim for the reference measure- ments was to setup a database of product properties. This database is later used as reference material when new properties of other products are meas- ured. In the theory part of the work is introduced the laboratory environment, quality systems, and the physical properties of the papers and boards that are meas- ured. Also the test methods of these properties are explained. As the reliability of the testing is very important, in this work is also thought about the things that may cause uncertainty and errors to the results. In the experimental part of the work is performed the basic- and strength prop- erties of the specific papers and boards that were selected. The samples used consist of the paper and board grades manufactured in Stora Enso Imatra and M-real Simpele mills, and of the own samples made of birch, eucalyptus, pine and spruce pulps. These industrial manufactured paper and board types are commonly used with the student works and they can be found from the paper laboratory.

    PEER-REVIEWED REVIEW ARTICLE bioresources.com Understanding the Effect of Machine Technology and Cellulosic Fibers on Tissue Properties – A Review Tiago de Assis,a Lee W. Reisinger,b Lokendra Pal,a Joel Pawlak,a Hasan Jameel,a and Ronalds W. Gonzalez a,* Hygiene tissue paper properties are a function of fiber type, chemical additives, and machine technology. This review presents a comprehensive and systematic discussion about the effects of the type of fiber and machine technology on tissue properties. Advanced technologies, such as through-air drying, produce tissue with high bulk, softness, and absorbency. Conventional technologies, where wet pressing is used to partially dewater the paper web, produces tissue with higher density, lower absorbency, and softness. Different fiber types coming from various pulping and recycling processes are used for tissue manufacturing. Softwoods are mainly used as a source of reinforcement, while hardwoods provide softness and a velvet type surface feel. Non- wood biomass may have properties similar to hardwoods and/or softwoods, depending on the species. Mechanical pulps having stiffer fibers result in bulkier papers. Chemical pulps have flexible fibers resulting in better bonding ability and softness. Virgin fibers are more flexible and produce stronger and softer tissue. Recycled fibers are stiffer with lower bonding ability, yielding products that are weaker and less soft. Mild mechanical refining is used to improve limitations found in recycled fibers and to develop properties in virgin fibers.

  • Making Paper from Trees
    Making Paper from Trees Forest Service U.S. Department of Agriculture FS-2 MAKING PAPER FROM TREES Paper has been a key factor in the progress of civilization, especially during the past 100 years. Paper is indispensable in our daily life for many purposes. It conveys a fantastic variety and volume of messages and information of all kinds via its use in printing and writing-personal and business letters, newspapers, pamphlets, posters, magazines, mail order catalogs, telephone directories, comic books, school books, novels, etc. It is difficult to imagine the modern world without paper. Paper is used to wrap packages. It is also used to make containers for shipping goods ranging from food and drugs to clothing and machinery. We use it as wrappers or containers for milk, ice cream, bread, butter, meat, fruits, cereals, vegetables, potato chips, and candy; to carry our food and department store purchases home in; for paper towels, cellophane, paper handkerchiefs and sanitary tissues; for our notebooks, coloring books, blotting paper, memo pads, holiday greeting and other “special occasion’’ cards, playing cards, library index cards; for the toy hats, crepe paper decorations, paper napkins, paper cups, plates, spoons, and forks for our parties. Paper is used in building our homes and schools-in the form of roofing paper, and as paperboard- heavy, compressed product made from wood pulp-which is used for walls and partitions, and in such products as furniture. Paper is also used in linerboard, “cardboard,” and similar containers. Wood pulp is the principal fibrous raw material from which paper is made, and over half of the wood cut in this country winds up in some form of paper products.
