  • Future Directions in Calendering Research
    Preferred citation: T.C. Browne and R. H. Crotogino. Future Directions in Calendering Research. In The science of papermaking, Trans. of the XIIth Fund. Res. Symp. Oxford, 2001, (C.F. Baker, ed.), pp 1001–1036, FRC, Manchester, 2018. DOI: 10.15376/frc.2001.2.1001. FUTURE DIRECTIONS IN CALENDERING RESEARCH T.C. Browne and R.H. Crotogino Paprican Pointe-Claire, QC, Canada ABSTRACT Calendering is the papermaker’s last chance to reduce thickness variations along the length and width of the finished sheet, and to improve the sheet smoothness. A smoother sheet results in improved print quality, while more uniform thickness profiles improve the winding process. The calendering operation thus improves the quality of the finished product. In recent years there has been an increase in the loads, speeds and temperatures at which soft-nip calenders, whether on or off line, can be operated without mechanical failure of the cover; the result has been an improvement in the surface and printing properties achievable with mechanical printing grades of paper, and an increase in the production rates which can be sustained. As a result, these calen- ders have slowly replaced traditional machine calenders in new and retrofit installations. The best available design and trouble-shooting tools for modern machine calenders are based on empirical models, whose coefficients have not been related to fundamental paper or fibre properties. New furnishes therefore require experimental deter- mination of these coefficients, and extrapolation to new calender- ing conditions involves some risk. As well, there are no published models, empirical or otherwise, for the design and trouble- shooting of soft-nip calenders, an unfortunate state of affairs given the increased number of installations of these machines.

  • Conservation of Coated and Specialty Papers
    RELACT HISTORY, TECHNOLOGY, AND TREATMENT OF SPECIALTY PAPERS FOUND IN ARCHIVES, LIBRARIES AND MUSEUMS: TRACING AND PIGMENT-COATED PAPERS By Dianne van der Reyden (Revised from the following publications: Pigment-coated papers I & II: history and technology / van der Reyden, Dianne; Mosier, Erika; Baker, Mary , In: Triennial meeting (10th), Washington, DC, 22-27 August 1993: preprints / Paris: ICOM , 1993, and Effects of aging and solvent treatments on some properties of contemporary tracing papers / van der Reyden, Dianne; Hofmann, Christa; Baker, Mary, In: Journal of the American Institute for Conservation, 1993) ABSTRACT Museums, libraries, and archives contain large collections of pigment-coated and tracing papers. These papers are produced by specially formulated compositions and manufacturing procedures that make them particularly vulnerable to damage as well as reactive to solvents used in conservation treatments. In order to evaluate the effects of solvents on such papers, several research projects were designed to consider the variables of paper composition, properties, and aging, as well as type of solvent and technique of solvent application. This paper summarizes findings for materials characterization, degradative effects of aging, and some effects of solvents used for stain reduction, and humidification and flattening, of pigment-coated and modern tracing papers. Pigment-coated papers have been used, virtually since the beginning of papermaking history, for their special properties of gloss and brightness. These properties, however, may render coated papers more susceptible to certain types of damage (surface marring, embedded grime, and stains) and more reactive to certain conservation treatments. Several research projects have been undertaken to characterize paper coating compositions (by SEM/EDS and FTIR) and appearance properties (by SEM imaging of surface structure and quantitative measurements of color and gloss) in order to evaluate changes that might occur following application of solvents used in conservation treatments.

Read Full License Page 1/18 Abstract The preparation of cellulose beads has attracted more and more attention in the application of advanced green materials. To obtain uniform and controllable cellulose beads, the dissolving pulp was dissolved in NMMO, and the cellulose beads were regenerated in various coagulation baths (water, alcohol, acid, NMMO, etc.) by phase conversion method. Results show that the crystal form of regenerated cellulose changes from cellulose I to cellulose II. NMMO swelling cellulose beads present low crystallinity and low water holding capacity. The coagulation mechanism of cellulose beads was claried by a laser confocal microscopy. It is found that the whole coagulation process was from outside to inside gradually. It is a green and facile method for preparing cellulose beads with different structures and properties, which can be widely used in biomedicine, energy storage materials, and protein chromatography. 1. Introduction The wide application of plastic products, especially plastic beads, has caused serious environmental pollution.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology by an authorized editor of Northwestern University School of Law Scholarly Commons. LPENTIFICATION OF CREPE-SOLE SHOES Charles W. Zmuda The author is a laboratory technician at the Dade County C.B.I. Laboratory, Miami, Florida and was formerly-a member of the staff of the Chicago Police Scientific Crime Detection Laboratory. This article was read before the Police Science Section at the 5th Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences, Chicago and is based upon research carried out while Mr. Zmuda was a member of the Chicago Police Scientific Crime Detection Laboratory.-EDoOR. This paper is a report on a study that was made during 1950 to determine the probability of design recurrence in crepe soles' used in sport shoe manufacturing. The undertaking came as result of: (1) the discovery of a crepe sole shoe impression at a robbery scene, (2) the similarity of characteristics when compared with impressions made with a suspect's shoe after a subsequent arrest, (3) and the desire to learn whether this corrugated crepe pattern was repeated with each crepe sole manufactured.
