Although the title of this book is Paper Chemistry, it should be
considered as a text about the chemistry of the formation of paper
from aqueous suspensions of fibre and other additives, rather than
as a book about the chemistry of the raw material itself. It is the
subject of what papermakers call wet-end chemistry. There are many
other excellent texts on the chemistry of cellulose and apart from
one chapter on the accessibility of cellulose, the subject is not
addressed here. Neither does the book deal with the chemistry of
pulp preparation (from wood, from other plant sources or from
recycled fibres), for there are also many excellent texts on this
subject. The first edition of this book was a great success and
soon became established as one of the Bibles of the industry. Its
achievement then was to collect the considerable advances in
understanding which had been made in the chemistry of papermaking
in previous years, and provide, for the first time, a sound physico
chemical basis of the subject. This new edition has been thoroughly
updated with much new material added. The formation of paper is a
continuous filtration process in which cellulosic fibres are formed
into a network which is then pressed and dried. The important
chemistry involved in this process is firstly the retention of col
loidal material during filtration and secondly the modification of
fibre and sheet properties so as to widen the scope for the use of
paper and board products."
