Mechanical properties of different conventional wood pulp fibers

Mechanical properties of different conventional wood pulp fibers

Mechanical properties of different conventional wood pulp fibers

(OP)
I'm looking for a comprehensive synopsis on anisotropic mechanical properties of different conventional wood pulp fibers. More specifically I would like to know the:

*Longitudinal Young’s modulus of the fibres, E11
*Transverse Young’s modulus of the fibres, E22
*The Poisson ratios: v12, v23
*The shear modulus, G12

This values could either be experimental or calculated. Fibres could be e.g. Liner, Thermo mechanical pulp (TMP), Chemo thermo mechanical (CTMP), Softwood kraft pulp (SKP), Hardwood kraft pulp (HKP), etc.

Any suggestion?

Sincerely yours,

Cristian
 

RE: Mechanical properties of different conventional wood pulp fibers

I would suggest getting in touch with the US Forest Products Lab in Madison, WI, USA.  They do have a website, but I think you would be better served by calling them.  There is also an association of pulp and paper makers, I'm sorry I don't have the exact name but I'm sure a web search will find it.

RE: Mechanical properties of different conventional wood pulp fibers

Hi Christian,

I am looking for the same mechanical properties. If you have found any valuable websites, or any other material pertaining to mechanical properties of wood fibers, Please let me know. Thanks and have a great Day!!!

Best Regards,
Mallinath
