Abstract

Effects of pulp type, refining and filler type on the pore characteristics and physical properties of paper were investigated. HwBKP, SwBKP and BCTMP are used to study the effect of pulp type in this study. The effects of each filler (PCC, GCC and talc) and the combination of PCC/GCC were also studied. Highest bulk, pore volume and light scattering are obtained from BCTMP and PCC. It was found that the pore size and pore volume are important in light scattering in paper structure. It was found that PCC was the most effective filler for the improvement of the bulk and light scattering because of the increase in pore volume which can scatter light, but the increase of PCC content was not so effective in the improvement of bulk.
