Paper : Structure and Properties (International Fiber Science and Technology)
95: Marcel Dekker, 1986. Hardcover. Text in English. 390 pp. Stamps on the front free endpapers and the title page. Light rubbing on covers.
Complete with instructive tables, drawings, photographs, and micrographs, plus over 500 citations of the field's literature, this useful reference describes paper structure at different levels and characterizes various facets of this structure in terms of the most important factors in its creation.
Discussing the impact of the latest theories in materials science on the interpretation of paper properties, Paper Structure and Properties develops the theme of the interrelationship of structure and properties in a clear, logical sequence from fiber structure through network structure to a consideration of the properties of paper as a continuum. The book helps identify the loading conditions, sorption characteristics, and other physical and chemical mechanisms important for optimal results in the converting operation ... considers the cellular structure of wood pulp with particular attention to the cell wall... furnishes an in-depth survey of paper's mechanical properties, such as internal stresses, tensile strength, compression behavior, and more ... and includes valuable appendices on the torsional rigidity of single fibers, laminated orthotropic plates, and a mechanical model of softwood.
Fourteen experts in different areas of paper science contribute their extensive knowledge and experience to present an essential book for paper scientists; analytical, surface, and physical chemists; chemical engineers; fiber scientists; manufacturers of paper products; paper mill engineers; and graduate-level and postgraduate students in paper technology and science. Very Good. Item #3867
