Editorial: A PaperCon preview of what’s coming in April, TAPPI Journal February 2020
Coming soon is PaperCon—TAPPI’s annual technical conference for paper and pack-aging industry professionals. Held this April 26-29 in Atlanta, GA, the conference features sessions on management, coating and graphic arts, process control, recycled paperboard, and a wide range of papermaking topics. Universities and research organizations from around the world are represented in the conference content, and below is a preliminary sampling of just a few of the many presentations that might interest TAPPI Journal readers.

The winding mechanics of laminate webs, TAPPI Journal February 2020
ABSTRACT: Models that describe the residual stresses due to winding single-layer webs at the end of roll-to-roll manufacturing machines are mature. These models have been used to reduce or avoid defects that are due to winding. Many laminated products exist where two or more webs have been joined to form a thicker composite web. The properties of the web layers provide a unique functionality to the product being manufactured. No laminate winding models exist in the literature. This paper will focus on the development of a laminate winding model and laboratory test verification of the model.

Wet pressing and product quality: Review of previous pilot machine trials, TAPPI Journal July 2020
ABSTRACT: The purpose of wet pressing is to remove water by mechanical means to consolidate the web and minimize the energy expended in the dryer section. In this process, paper is compacted and densified to degrees that impact end-use performance. Average density is increased by pressing, which has implications for grades where stiffness is important. The z-direction density gradients can affect printing and converting. Lastly, pressing affects surface quality of paper and its response to printing. Broadly speaking, the final press nip dominates the paper surface roughness and the early press nips affect printing performance.

Editorial: Nonwovens sector provides opportunities for professional and advanced textiles growth, TAPPI Journal February 2023
ABSTRACT: With inflation still lingering, global fiduciary regulatory agencies like the U.S. Federal Reserve are handling the issue by hiking base interest rates. The recent COVID-19 pandemic has exposed lagging investments for advanced and agile manufacturing in developed economies in the recent past. Because of this situation, governments have begun taking policy initiatives, such as boosting support for infrastructure in the United States, creating a National Mission on Technical Textiles in India, and many initiatives in the United Kingdom and European Union to boost clean energy, fight climate change, and encourage sustainable manufacturing.

Editorial: Progress continues in recovery cycle optimization, TAPPI Journal March 2023
ABSTRACT: Travel came to a halt just before the 2020 International Chemical Recovery Conference (ICRC) was to take place in Brazil. The ICRC was to be co-hosted in 2021 with TAPPI PEERS, but PEERS was eventually cancelled for that year as travel for many had not resumed. In early 2022, The University of Toronto hosted an online meeting in order to bring together the community of researchers and industrial engineers for an ICRC event. At this event, 19 research papers were presented.

Editorial: Diverse content characterizes PaperCon 2019, TAPPI Journal November 2019
ABSTRACT: PaperCon 2019 was held from May 5-8 in Indianapolis, IN. Many of us visiting Indianapolis had little or no perception of the area beyond, of course, race cars and good sports teams. We also found a lovely, walkable downtown with a myriad of restaurants, parks, historic sites, and state government. As with the diverse offerings of PaperCon 2019’s host city of Indianapolis, the conference technical program was exceptionally broad this year. In this special issue of TAPPI Journal, we share both the breadth and quality of the content presented at PaperCon 2019 through peer-reviewed papers from the conference, as described below.
