摘要:
The properties of recycled paper are strongly affected by shrinking during drying, which depends on the drying conditions. An experimental study of the shrinkage phenomenon during drying of paper is presented. Drying experiments were conducted in a drying oven with controlled temperature. The temperature influence on shrinkage extent, porosity, and apparent density of the paper was evaluated. Structural changes on the paper surface after drying were analyzed by scanning electronic microscopy. Thickness contraction, surface, and volumetric shrinkage were correlated as a function of the moisture content. Lower apparent density values and more porous paper samples were obtained for higher temperatures.
