Shrinkage paper properties

Specific gravity and density are two physical quantities related to important wood attributes such as mechanical strength, shrinkage, paper-forming properties, and cutting forces required in machining. 

The level of fiber shrinkage strongly affects the final paper properties. In general, there are two possible strategies of paper drying ... 

The experimental determination of RBA, however, is difficult but some attempts have been made and these include direct observation, measurements of electrical conductivity, shrinkage energy, gas adsorption and light scattering. The linear elastic response of paper has been explained in terms of various micromechanical models which take into account both fibre and network properties, including RBA. An example of one which predicts the sheet modulus, Es is given below ...

Attempts to produce a viable SiC fiber by Reaction 1 have not been successful because the approximately 87 percent increase in volume that occurs upon conversion disrupts the microstructure and, therefore, compromises the mechanical properties of the fiber. Reaction 2 proceeds, theoretically, with approximately 6 percent shrinkage. However, recent attempts by MER Corporation (Kowbel, 1997) to convert entire filaments via Reaction 2 have been unsuccessful. Furthermore, earlier attempts to fully convert oriented carbon fiber were also unsuccessful. The interior of these carbon fibers generally remains unconverted graphite attempts by the New Oji Paper Company (Okada et al., 1995) using a porous, activated carbon fiber (ACF), have been successful...

This paper discusses the properties of polymer-modified mortars with silica fume. The polymer-modified mortars using a styrene-butadiene rubber latex and an ethylene-vinyl acetate emulsion are prepared with various polymer-cement ratios and silica fume contents, and tested for flexural and compressive strengths, adhesion, water absorption and permeation, water resistance, drying shrinkage, carbonation and chloride ion penetration. The effects of the polymer-cement ratio and silica fume content on the properties of the polymer-modified mortars are e>amined. In conclusion, the addition of the silica fume causes improvements i- the compressive strength, resistance to water permeation and chloride ion penetration. However, the adhesion, resistance to water absorption and carbonation and drying shrinkage are not improved by silica fume addition.
