ABSTRACT

水の浸透時に起こる紙の膨潤度を測定する方法として厚さの変化を測定した。プラスックチューブで3方向から水を供給する方法を用い、作動トランスを使用して測定を行い、短時間での連続測定に成功した。また紙の重量増加を測定することとの対応により、サイズ紙では吸収量の増加より遅れて膨潤が始まることが明らかになった。またこの方法はブリストー試験の吸収曲線とは対応しないことも明らかになった。

ABSTRACT

As for mechanism of liquid penetration, Lucas-Washburn's equation has been applied for years. Oil penetration is sure to be suited to this equation. But, water tends to deviate from it, which was confirmed also by the authors with weakly-sized paper. One of the main reasons for this is swelling. Swelling means the phenomenon of increasing volume when the material absorbs liquid. In case of paper it actually appears as increase in thickness including structural change resulting from interfiber debonding.

In the present study, we aim at measuring rapid thickness increase of paper precisely. For this purpose an new system for measuring thickness change was experimentally created using a differential transducer. How swelling is involved in liquid absorption mechanisms was discussed in comparison with the data obtained by traditional Cobb's method and the results showed that

1. Rapid increase in paper thickness just after contact with water was able to be measured continuously with newly-developed differential transducer system.

2. Capillary absorption following by swelling occurs for sized paper from the result of comparison between water absorption volume and thickness increase measured with a using a differential transducer system.

3. Thickness increase measured with a differential transducer system did not correspond to Bristow's curve because of difference in penetration way. Therefore, simultaneous measurement system of thickness and absorption volume is required.
