Overview

"This work aims to collect together advances in understanding in the chemistry of papermaking, and to provide a sound basis physico chemical basis of the subject. This edition includes a new chapter on polyelectrolytes. Emphasis is on the ""wet end"" of the papermaking process, that is the formation of paper from aqueous suspensions of fibre and additives. It is aimed at paper-mill chemists, research and development and technical departments of paper companies (and their chemical suppliers) and also academic departments and research institutes of paper technology."
