The Effect Of Ph On Alkaline Sizing Of Kraft And Sulfite Softwoods, Stephen M. Courtney

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

Alkaline sizing has many inherrent advantages over conventional sizing with rosin and alum. The presence of alum alone in the papermaking system can be a detrimental factor to some characteristics of the process and the final sheet. By sizing under alkaline conditions not only is alum eliminated from the system but also a superior grade of sizing is achieved.

For the sizing of softwoods with Aquapel, an alkyl ketene dimer, it was found desirable to size in the pH range 8.0 to 8.3 and Canadian Standard Freeness 500 to 530. The kraft softwood was found slightly more susceptible to alkaline …

The Effect Of Moisture On Ply-Bond Strength Of Paperboard, Danny L. Breen

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

This study was carried out to evaluate the effect on the ply-bond strength of the moisture content of the plies of a multi-ply sheet at the time of joining.

Two-ply sheets were formed with the plies at various moisture contents at joining. The resulting ply-bonds were evaluated by three methods, viz. Instron peel, Mullen ply-bond, and z-direction tensile. Each method showed the same trend of ply-bond strength dependence on moisture and within the range of experimental error the average values of the three techniques correlated well.

This study showed that the moisture content of the plies at joining is extremely …

Influence Of Sheet Extensibility On Tearing Strength, Thomas C. Axel

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

This paper investigates the possibility that there is a relationship between the tearing properties and elongation properties of a sheet of paper. A lack of specific information in the literature and the advent of the in-plane tear method contributed to the need for work to be done in this area. Pulp was prepared according to TAPPI Standards and handsheets formed on a Noble And Wood sheet mold. After wet pressing, sheets were stretched with a hand made device to varying degrees, and dried in an oven in the stretched position. An Instron machine was used to determine the percent elongation, …

Another Declaration Of Independence, James A. Wright

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

I suspect if we taught preschoolers to speak many would not learn nearly as well as they do in their own independent manner. The very young child learns to speak when he wants to, in the way he wants to, because he wants to. Above all else, he does not become anxious about what he can not understand or can not do. He does not worry about making mistakes. He does not worry about being wrong. He does not fear an extrinsic evaluation of his progress. He meets only success.

High School Remedial Reading Or Blood, Sweat, And Tears?, Robert Sandell

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The school drop-out problem is real and has been with us for some time. Unless proper, effective corrective measures are taken and all who teach do something positive, the difficulty is likely to not only remain, but grow worse. Most educators and many interested laymen are concerned with the fundamentals of this deplorably wasteful situation, but it would appear that the real causes are little known or understood (3).
