Wood Science and Technology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Burst and tear strengths of handsheets made from 48 pulps disk-refined from chips of varying chemical composition decreased with increasing extractive content after the independent effects of fiber morphology were specified. This result was attributed to lessened bond strength caused by reduced surface tension forces and blocking of reactive sites on the fiber surfaces.

Zusammenfassung

Berstzahl und Reißfestigkeit der Blätter von 48 verschiedenen Zellstoffen aus scheibengemahlenen Spänen mit unterschiedlichen chemischen Bestandteilen verringerten sich mit ansteigendem Extraktstoffgehalt; die davon unabhängigen Einflüsse des Faseraufbaues sind dabei berücksichtigt. Diese Tatsache wird der verminderten Bindungskraft zugeschrieben, verursacht durch die herabgesetzte Oberflächenspannung und die Blockierung von Bindungsstellen an den Faseroberflächen.
