Abstract
AS a first step, the type of material considered is that coming under the generic heads of ‘paper’ and ‘board’. These materials are made of cellulosic fibres which are filtered off as sheets from liquid suspensions and dried to give the final product. The bonds between the fibres are almost entirely made up of hydrogen bridges between cellulosic and hemi-cellulosic components.
