MW-VNT-86 Fiber physics and paper testing
Qualification goals
Students have a sound knowledge of the fundamental relationships between raw materials, processes and paper properties. They will be able to determine the basic, surface and strength properties as well as the optical properties of paper and cardboard and to characterize the behaviour of single and multi-layer papers and cardboards in relation to liquids or gases. On this basis, they can ensure the quality of products and design new products. Students will be able to determine the basic paper properties and analyze and influence the relationships between raw materials, processes and paper properties.
Contents
The module covers the physical principles of stock preparation and paper production processes, in particular the behavior of fibrous materials and the web formed during pulp grinding, dewatering, wet compaction, drying and smoothing. Further contents are properties and usage behavior of paper, board and tissue products as well as practical applications of selected test methods.
