Abstract Details

2010, Master of Science, Miami University, Paper Science and Engineering.
This investigation was to compare the structural properties, of commercial available single ply paper towels, as they vary in X-Y plane. The focus was to quantify the differences in selected regions of interest, as measured by two analytical methods, non-contact Twin Laser Profilometry (TLP) and synchrotron X-ray micro-computed tomography (XRμCT). The thickness and out-of-plane deformation (OPD) distributions were mapped using a TLP and XRμCT. The XRμCT samples were further used to calculate for the mass center surface. TLP enables web structures to be mapped to a micrometer resolution over 12.5mm regions. Synchrotron X-ray microtomography method provides sub-micrometer resolution of the complete volumetric structure (1.4mm x 1.4mm x thickness (μm)) for the imaged region. The features of individual fibers are revealed by XRμCT method, so that the true surface geometry may be quantified.
