For what is thought of as an essentially mechanical process, paper
manufacture involves a large amount of chemistry. The Chemistry of
Paper provides an overview of the process of making paper from a
chemical perspective. It deals with both the chemistry of paper as
a material and the chemistry of its production, setting out the
main principles involved at every stage of the process. Early
chapters provide a chemical definition of paper in the light of the
many uses to which it is put. Subsequent chapters deal with the
chemical processes involved in the production of paper: the
delignification of the wood fibres performed at elevated
temperature and pressure, the bleaching of the cellulose-rich pulp
using environmentally-friendly systems, the formation of the pulp
into sheets of fibres strengthened by extensive inter-fibre
hydrogen bonding, and finally the coating of the sheets in a manner
appropriate to their end use. Chemistry is involved at every stage
of the process, including carbohydrate chemistry, the chemistry of
inorganic pigments and organic resins, colloid and surface
chemistry, as well as elements of environmental and analytical
chemistry. The Chemistry of Paper provides an informative and
entertaining overview of the chemical principles involved. It will
be especially suitable for students and others who require an
introduction to the chemistry of paper manufacture.
