Use of HG proosimetry to characterize fore structure and model end-use properties of coated papers part I. Optical and strength properties

摘要

Mercury porosimetry has proven to be a valuable technique for characterizing the pore structure of coatings. The objective of this study was to characterize coating formulation effects on pore structure and then investigate how the pore structure impacts optical properties, strength properties, and print properties. The pore structure characterization and impact on optical and strength properties are discussed in this paper. Print performance will be addressed in a future pbulication.
