Chemistry of Modern Papermaking presents a chemist's perspective
on the papermaking process. With roughly 3% of the mass of a paper
product invested in water-soluble chemicals, paper makers can
adjust the speed and efficiency of the process, minimize and reuse
surplus materials, and differentiate a paper product as required by
specific customers. With research and development scattered across
academic journals or the proprietary information of a variety of
companies, the modern paper maker requires a one-stop resource for
the general picture of the paper chemicals organic chemistry.
The remarkable effectiveness of chemicals at very low
concentrations is a fascinating topic in paper chemistry. Chemistry
of Modern Papermaking is an extensive collection of data combining
the organic chemistry of paper with its potential applications.
Within each chapter, paper chemicals are organized based on their
chemical structure. After an introduction and brief history, the
book explores the papermaking process, retention aids, temporary
wet strength resins, wet strength resins, dry strength resins,
internal sizing agents, creping adhesives and softeners, and
chemicals for paper surface treatment. Uniquely, patents and
scientific articles are included in almost equal number among the
3400 references.
Chemistry of Modern Papermaking focuses on the chemistry behind
each application, on what has been done, and on what can be done.
Never before has a book analytically arranged and lucidly explained
such an expansive collection of details from both the patent and
scientific literature. This synthesis is achieved not only through
diligent work, but also through years of industrial experience.
