Particle Size and Shape of Cellulose Fibers

The size and shape of cellulose fibers are important for reasons such as the texture of the final paper surface, the inherent properties of the final product such as tensile strength, and also for production parameters. Thus the quality control of the raw fiber material is an important step. This application note describes how the CAMSIZER XT has been successfully used to characterize cellulose fiber size and shape.
