SURFACE COMPOSITION OF GRAFTED THERMOMECHANICAL PULP THROUGH XPS MEASUREMENT

The purpose of this study is to develop an analytical method to quantify the nitrogen present at the surface of paper by using X-ray photo-electronic spectroscopy (XPS). A sample of softwood thermomechanical pulp (TMP) was treated with a cationic starch containing primary amines, while another one w...
