Guest Editorial: Nonwovens industry responds to COVID-19 challenge, TAPPI Journal October 2020

ABSTRACT: The COVID-19 pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus has challenged the whole world to prepare for and respond to a health crisis. While the world had previously focused on addressing challenges such as climate change, income disparity, and peace, this novel coronavirus introduced a new set of challenges not seen in 100 years.

Effects of metal surface morphology on deposition behavior of microstickies from papermaking white water, TAPPI Journal July 2023

ABSTRACT: Deposition of small adhesive particles, called microstickies, onto pulp processing equipment and paper machines causes quality and operational problems for recycling mills. The factors that control deposition of microstickies onto surfaces of metal parts remain unclear. In this work, aluminum surfaces with a range of surface roughness were exposed to slurries containing microstickies. The deposition results showed that flat surfaces promote the aggregation and deposition of microstickies particles. Uneven surfaces tended to favor deposition of smaller microstickies, 0.2•1 µm, which may be related to greater contact area presented by the rougher surface. This work provides insights into the deposition of microstickies.
