My TAPPI Story: Leslie Petrie
Environmental Scanning Electron Microscopy (ESEM) is a new groundbreaking technique that images samples in a gaseous environment at pressures up to 2.7 KPa (20 Torr). This paper reports an exploration of the capabilities of the ESEM for examining the wetting and drying of paper, and the drying of a coating formula. Breaking of fibers was seen during wetting and drying of 80# paper. But images must be interpreted with great care because electron beam radiation can damage wet cellulose fibers. In a coating formula dried in the ESEM, alignment of kaolin platelets was examined. This paper also assesses the potential for combining ESEM and cryogenic SEM for advantages of both.
