Editorial: Looking back and looking forward: Paper physics and the paper industry, TAPPI Journal October 2018

In 1937, E.W. Samson, a physicist for the Hammermill Paper Company, wrote an article titled “Physics in the paper industry” [1]. In his introduction, he wrote:

Without paper there would be few physicists and very little understood physics. Conversely, without physics there would be no paper, for paper making is fundamentally a physical process. And yet this great industry managed to wobble along for about two thousand years without the aid of the physicist, and without apparently missing him. It is a pointed question to ask, what can the physicist do  for the paper industry?
