The Loss Of Some Strength Characteristics Of Coated Magazine Paper As A Result Of Exposure To Elevated Temperatures, Hugh D. Burnie

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

Introduction

The purpose of this work is to investigate the effect that varying degrees of temperature have on the strength properties of coated magazine stock. Paper of this type encounters high temperature conditions primarily in the ink drying operations following the printing of the web. The strength with which the paper meets the cutting, folding and binding methods which follow the drying operation are of paramount importance to the printer. Throughout the work, attempts were made to assimilate conditions encountered in present day commercial practice.

Acid Treatment Of Pulp At Different Temperatures And The Resultant Change In Pulp Characteristics, Kent Dickerman

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

Literature Survey

The aim of this thesis is to investigate the acid treatment of pulp at different temperatures. In the experimental work, enough sulfuric acid is used to neutralize the mixture of pulp and water and thereafter reach in the pH range of one and eight tenths to two at atmospheric pressure. Temperatures during experimentation range from room temperature to 100° Centigrade.

The Effect Of Some Variables On The Numerical Evaluation Of Printing Quality, James G. Dunlap Jr.

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

Introduction

The desire for specific information concerning those qualities of paper, which tend toward satisfactory results in printing, has become of great interest to papermakers and paper consumers. To the paper mill, this information is important in preventing the production of unsatisfactory printing paper. To the printer, such information enables him to determine unsatisfactory paper before it reaches the presses, and also permits him to tell the papermaker in advance the characteristics that are desired in the paper.

Influence Of Additives Upon The Viscosity Of Concentrated Deinking Waste, Richard J. Drexel

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

The literature survey reveals little information relating directly to deinking waste. This waste is composed mostly of coating and filling pigments such as clays and calcium carbonate therefore a study was made along these lines. Hauser (8), and other colloidal chemist, generally agree that clay and other pigment suspensions can be dispersed with certain chemical additives. This is said to be attributed to the active forces of repulsion between the particles which in turn produce a marked effect upon the flow properties. Further studies reveal that the Hercules Hi-Shear viscometer has been useful in analyzing high solids pigment suspensions which …

Polyvinyl Acetate Lattices As Adhesives For Pigment-Coated Paper, Robert L. Harney

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

In recent years, the possibility of using synthetic latices as adhesives in the paper coating industry has caused much interest. The manufacturers of latices uncovered a new market by fostering developmental research in the field of pigment coating binders. Polyvinyl acetate latices were one of the group of products studied in this manner.

In the past, experts in the field of coating believed that synthetic latices could contribute substantial improvements to some optical properties of coated papers over and above that of conventional adhesives. It was also felt that synthetic latices could exhibit higher pigment binding power than conventional adhesives. …

Supercalender Variables (I) The Effect Of Supercalender Pressure On The Physical Characteristics Of Paper, Kenneth L. Maves

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

This work is concerned with the effect of supercalender pressures on the physical properties of paper.

The literature survey shows that very little work has been published concerning the effect of the variables of supercalendering on paper. In this investigation, a study is made of the effect of varied supercalendering pressures on 50 percent rag ledger and coated folder paper. The experimental results show that definite trends were established on physical strength and optical properties when supercalender pressure w as increased.

A Comparison Of The Color Stability Of Certain Rosin Sizing Agents As Influenced By Light And Iron, Raymond L. Janes

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

A literature survey is presented concerning the yellowing of paper with age and the relationships of rosin, light, and iron as factors in inducing this discoloration. The recent chemical modifications of rosin which are applicable for use in the sizing of paper are investigated with the intent of discerning whether or not they exhibit sufficient improvement in color-brightness stability over that of natural rosin to warrant their use in certain high quality papers.

The experimental results indicated only one rosin modification, "Foral", a fully-hydrogenated rosin, having a marked advantage over natural rosin with regard to brightness stability as affected by …

Size Tests Applicable To Writing Surface Versus Aqueous Inks, Md. Mozammel Haque

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

Introduction

Some paper, because of their use requirements are required to be porous and absorbent to liquids, particularly water. Examples of these papers are paper towels, blotters and filter paper. Most papers, however, are required to be resistant to the passage of acquous liquids or vapor. Writing papers, moisture resistant bags, waxed paper and many other classes of paper too numerous to mention fall into the latter groups of papers.

The required degree of resistance to the penetration of aqueous liquids or vapors is brought about through the process of sizing. Sizing may be defined as the addition of materials …

A More Rapid Routine Control Method For The Estimation Of Titanium Dioxide In Paper, Allen E. Uhl

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

A procedure is given for estimation of titanium dioxide in paper, whereby ashing the sample is omitted thru simultaneous destruction of the paper and solution of the titanium. This method is compared with the standard methods of analysis in regard to time required and precision.

Printing With Moisture Setting Inks. The Influence Of Varying Degrees Of Sizing And Varying Amounts Of Hardwood Fibers On The Printability Of Bleached Sulphate Sheets, Frank L. Yankoviak

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

The work on this thesis has been conducted for the purpose of investigating the effect of two variables on the printability of a bleached softwood sulphate sheet; using a moisture setting ink. The two variables are: (1) rosin sizing, (2) furnish, namely, varying amounts of bleached hardwood sulphate fibers.

Handsheets were made in the laboratory with four levels of rosin sizing. and increasing amounts of hardwood fibers. The amounts of hardwood fibers ranged from zero to 100 percent with two intermediate percentages.

The calendered handsheets were then printed and visually inspected for quality of printing obtained. Other tests. carried out …

A Sociometric Study Of Popularity And Academic Achievement In A Ninth Grade Class, Elizabeth V. Banks

Masters Theses

The Problem and Its Background

Introduction

It is common knowledge that education consists of more than training for academic achievement. It consists of teaching whole individuals how to live effectively in their social environments. Although it is almost impossible to teach them all the skills directly they can be helped to learn through experience a great number of them for themselves. These view-points with respect to the teaching of students are held not only by a great number of educational authorities but are also part of the educational practice of a great number of teachers.

The Influence Of Fiber Length And Fiber Length Distribution On Some Strength Characteristics Of A Commercial Pulp, David Kraske

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

In this thesis, four groups of fibers with varying average fiber lengths have been separated from a coniferous bleached kraft pulp which had been beaten to different levels of freeness. The fractionation of the pulp was accomplished with a Bauer-McNett fiber classifier. The groups of fibers were analyzed for average fiber length, fiber length distribution and for their strength characteristics.

The results of this survey show interesting and significant trends, particularly with regard to the apparent density, tensile strength and the tearing resistance of the various fractions. The contributions of the various fractions to the strength characteristics of the whole …
