Abstract:This study evaluates the interaction between the use of debonding agents and optimum refining levels on secondary fiber. The results showed that, while debonding agents decrease the mechanical strength of handsheets by decreasing fiber bonding, optimizing refining levels could compensate for this loss in strength.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
