Pulp and Paper Testing

Book editors: Jan-Erik Levlin and Liva Söderhjelm

Volume 17 of the Papermaking Science and Technology Series, published by the Finnish Paper Engineers’ Association.
Testing and analytical procedures are needed to describe the properties of

- Single fibers
- The fiber collective in the form of fiber suspensions
- The fiber collective in the form of the final network – the paper

Actually, a large number of more or less direct testing and analytical methods have already been developed. These are described in this book. Interactions between fibers, fillers, and other components are much more difficult to measure directly and to describe in numerical terms. Much research is being done in this area to further our understanding of the phenomena involved. In compiling this volume, some limitations were necessary. Thus the book deals only with laboratory tests. 

The Papermaking Science and Technology series is also an excellent textbook resource for universities and colleges.   This series is ideal to train new employees at your company or as a reference guide for your experienced workforce.
