  • What Happens to Cellulosic Fibers During Papermaking and Recycling? a Review
    PEER-REVIEWED REVIEW ARTICLE ncsu.edu/bioresources WHAT HAPPENS TO CELLULOSIC FIBERS DURING PAPERMAKING AND RECYCLING? A REVIEW Martin A. Hubbe,* Richard A. Venditti, and Orlando J. Rojas Both reversible and irreversible changes take place as cellulosic fibers are manufactured into paper products one or more times. This review considers both physical and chemical changes. It is proposed that by understanding these changes one can make better use of cellulosic fibers at various stages of their life cycles, achieving a broad range of paper performance characteristics. Some of the changes that occur as a result of recycling are inherent to the fibers themselves. Other changes may result from the presence of various contaminants associated with the fibers as a result of manufacturing processes and uses. The former category includes an expected loss of swelling ability and decreased wet-flexibility, especially after kraft fibers are dried. The latter category includes effects of inks, de-inking agents, stickies, and additives used during previous cycles of papermaking. Keywords: Paper recycling, Drying, Deinking, Hornification, Inter-fiber bonding, Refining, Fines, Fiber length, Conformability Contact information: Department of Forest Biomaterials Science and Engineering, Box 8005, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC 27695-8005, USA; *Corresponding author: [email protected] INTRODUCTION Cellulosic fibers can change significantly when formed into a wet web of paper and subsequently subjected to such processes as pressing, drying, printing, storage, repulping, and deinking. Some of the changes can be subtle. Often it is possible to substitute recovered fibers in place of virgin fibers used for the production of paper or paperboard. On the other hand, characteristic differences between recycled fibers and virgin fibers (fresh from pulping wood, not recycled) can be expected; many of these can be attributed to drying.

  • New Hanji a Korean Paper Tradition Re-Imagined
    New Hanji A Korean Paper Tradition Re-Imagined OCTOBER 9, 2015 - JANUARY 3, 2016 curated by Chelsea Holton and Rina Yoon 2 Foreword Chelsea Holton Paper changed everything. From humble origins, this product has allowed us to spread knowledge, record history, and express ourselves in myriad ways. Much as the digital revolution today is dramatically changing the speed and ways in which we communicate, so did the invention of paper almost 2,000 years ago. And yet, even as the use of paper disappears from our daily lives, the reaction to protect and honor the tradition of handmade paper seems natural. This exhibition: New Hanji: A Korean Paper Tradition Re-Imagined does just that. The birth of papermaking is murky, but most settle on the achievements of the Chi- nese court official, Ts’ai Lun, in the year 105CE, as a milestone in the development of fiber-based paper. Papyrus and parchment, among the precursors to paper, were difficult to make and not widely available. Ts’ai Lun created writing surfaces out of readily available raw materials such as bark and hemp. With the advent of an affordable, mass-producible product, the vast and rapid spread of ideas worldwide was inevitable. Papermaking made its way to Korea from China sometime before the 4th century CE and was firmly established throughout Korea by the 8th century CE. The trans- mission of papermaking technology to Korea was almost certainly linked to the spread of Buddhist teachings from China to Korea. A notable moment was the year 372 CE, when the Chinese monk, Shundao, visited the Goguryeo kingdom in the north of Korea.

Most of historical documents were recorded on paper. Therefore, restoration of ancient papers is demanded and techniques for this purpose must be developed and sophisticated. In our study, several nondestructive methods for analyzing ancient paper have been developed. Image analysis using fast Fourier transform with suitable modifications was applied to optical micrographs of traditionally-handmade Korean and Japanese papers. This analysis determines the angle and anisotropy of fiber orientation of paper surfaces. Fiber orientation of traditionally-handmade Korean and Japanese papers was found to show their own characteristics in accordance with the motion of a papermaking screen made of bamboo splints. Consequently, the information on fiber orientation was found to be possible to distinguish the flow-sheet forming typical of Japanese paper and still- sheet forming typical of Korean paper. Moreover, the anisotropy was always higher for the screen side than for the top side, thus meaning that surface fiber orientation is possible to distinguish the two sides of paper of which papermaking history is unknown.

Thousands of other books, including many of the most important and unusual, never found their way into my catalogues, having been quickly sold before their descriptions could appear in print. In the last fifteen years, since my Catalogue 100 appeared, many truly exceptional books passed through my hands. Of these, I would like to mention three. The first, sold in 2003 was a copy of the first edition in Latin of the Columbus Letter of 1493. This is now in a private collection. In 2004, I was offered a book which I scarcely dreamed of owning: the Narratio Prima of Rheticus, printed in 1540. Presenting the first announcement of the heliocentric system of Copernicus, this copy in now in the Linda Hall Library in Kansas City, Missouri. Both of the books were sold before they could appear in my catalogues. Finally, the third book is an absolutely miraculous uncut copy in the original limp board wallet binding of Galileo’s Sidereus Nuncius of 1610. Appearing in my Catalogue 178, this copy was acquired by the Library of Congress. This is the first and, probably the last, “personal” catalogue I will prepare.

  • Permanence, Durability and Unique Properties of Hanji
    1 Permanence, Durability and Unique Properties of Hanji MINAH SONG, JESSE MUNN ABSTRACT This research project presents new information about the permanence and durability of contemporary Korean handmade papers, explains the particular methods of traditional hanji papermakers while introducing the possibilities of utilizing the products of Korean papermills in conservation. Traditional Korean papermaking uses a unique technique, known as webal, to form a sheet which distributes fibers evenly in both directions theoretically resulting in less specific grain direction and an expansion/contraction rate which is even in both directions. In addition, Korean paper employs an exclusive use of paper mulberry known as chamdak or dak in contrast to the typically mixed fiber furnish of Chinese papers. Like most East Asian papers, the pH of Korean paper is alkaline or neutral. The typical alkalis used to prepare fibers are soda ash (Na2CO3) or caustic soda (NaOH). A variety of contemporary samples of Korean papers have been artificially aged and evaluated according to TAPPI standards under the direction of the Research and Testing Laboratory of the Library of Congress. This project will present interesting data concerning tensile strength, brightness, and pH before and after aging as well as expansion and contraction measurements. The results are very promising for the possibility of using Hanji for conservation treatment. One of the suggested advantages of using Hanji may be in the lack of strong grain direction providing a stable and non competing repair or lining paper. 1.

  • Preservation and Conservation (PAC) Programme Frequently Asked Questions
    Preservation and Conservation (PAC) Programme Frequently Asked Questions Paper conservation by using Japanese paper, washi Prepared by PAC Japan Q: What is washi? A: Washi, or Japanese paper, can be made from the fibre of kozo (paper mulberry family), mitsumata (daphne family), or gampi (daphne family), but the most commonly used material is kozo. The traditional papermaking process for kozo starts by steaming bundles of kozo bark to remove the outer dark layer and often the intermediate green layer. The white inner bark is cooked in a mild alkaline solution such as wood ash or soda ash to remove lignin and other impurities. Strong alkali such as caustic soda were not traditionally used during this process. Next, the fibre is beaten by hand until it is fine enough to be dispersed in water with a small amount of a dispersion agent, neri, a mucilagenous substance from tororo-aoi (abelmoschus manihot) plants. Finally, the paper maker dips a flexible Japanese papermaking mould in the vat of fibres and water to form sheets of paper using a technique called nagashizuki. Washi has been manufactured and used in Japan from more than 1000 years. In 2014, three kinds of washi were added to UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity: sekishu-banshi, hon-minoshi, and hosokawa-shi. Nowadays there is no clear definition of what can or can’t be called washi. It can be manufactured by machine or by hand, using a flexible Japanese mould or a fixed paper mould, with or without chemicals. Some kinds of washi contain imported kozo or wood pulp fibres.
