Neutral and alkaline sizing

  • Chapter
Paper Chemistry

Abstract

Internal sizing is achieved by retarding the rate of penetration of a fluid, usually water, through capillaries formed both within and between fibres. The rate of capillary rise of fluids into paper has been effectively described by the Washburn equation [1] and modifications of it [2]. These approaches assume that the penetration of a fluid into paper is analogous to that of a fluid into a single capillary. Retardation is thus brought about by the creation of a low energy hydrophobic surface at the fibre-water interface which increases the contact angle formed between a drop of liquid and the surface and thus decreases the wettability. Contact angles have been shown to be sensitive to molecular packing, surface morphology and chemical constitution [3–5], and it is the latter which is influenced during the internal sizing of paper. An excellent review is available [6] and this subject is also discussed more fully in Chapter 8.
