Christian Doppler Laboratory for Surface Science Investigations on Paper Strength | ||
In this new CD-Laboratory the strength of fiber – fiber bonds in paper will be investigated. The surface morphology as well as the surface chemistry will be investigated using a collaborative approach. The laboratory head is Prof. Robert Schennach from the Institute of Solid State Physics, Graz University of Technology. Close collaboration with Prof. Wolfgang Bauer from the Institute of Paper Pulp and Fiber Technology, Graz University of Technology and with Prof. Christian Teichert from the Institute of Physics, University of Leoben will enable a simultaneous investigation of the fiber morphology and the surface and interface chemistry. The industrial partners are Mondi Packaging in Frantschach, Lenzing AG and Kelheim Fibres. |
