Rheological characterization of tack and viscoelasticity of compositions of crepe coating used in the Yankee dryer, TAPPI Journal November 2019
ABSTRACT: The vast majority of tissue production uses creping to achieve the required set of properties on the base sheet. The Yankee coating helps to develop the desired crepe that in turn determines properties such as bulk and softness. The adhesion of the sheet to the Yankee surface is a very important characteristic to consider in achieving the desired crepe. The coating mix usually consists of the adhesive, modifier, and release. A good combination of these components is essential to achieving the desired properties of the tissue or towel, which often are determined by trials on the machine that can be time consuming and lead to costly rejects. In this paper, five compo-sitions of an industrial Yankee coating adhesive, modifier, and release were examined rheologically. The weight ratio of the adhesive was kept constant at 30% in all five compositions and the modifier and release ratios were varied. The normal force and work done by the different compositions have been shown at various temperatures simulating that of the Yankee surface, and the oscillatory test was carried out to explain the linear and nonlinear viscoelastic characteristic of the optimal coating composition.

An experimental method to study the absorption capacity of paper towels, TAPPI Journal April 2021
ABSTRACT: This study proposes an experimental method for the in-plane liquid wicking to determine the absorption capacity of retail paper towels. Individual plies of the paper towels were tested to minimize the transverse wicking effects on surface wetting. The method involves arbitrary point source injection of liquid into the paper towel surface while recording microscopic images of the wetted areas as liquid spreads. The samples were selected from two main manufacturing processes: conventional wet pressing and through air drying. The tested liquids were water and decane with various driving forces. Two distinct imaging systems, infrared light absorption imaging and visible light transmission imaging, monitored and recorded the wetting process. The wetted regions were calculated to generate the wetting graphs, which illustrate both the dynamic and static wetting behaviors. It was found the amount of driving force has a negligible effect on the maximum wetted area formed on the surface. So, the maximum wetted area and the paper grammage were applied to determine the absorption capacity of the tested towels. Moreover, the absorption capacity results were validated by the basket-immersion test method (ISO 12625-8). Therefore, the proposed method in this work enables quantification of the absorption capacity of paper towels.
