Ed. Shchukin et al., ADHESION OF CELLULOSE FIBERS IN LIQUID-MEDIA - 2 - MEASUREMENT OF CONTACT FORCE OF ATTRACTION, Colloid journal of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 60(5), 1998, pp. 541-543
The apparatus for measuring (by detachment test) adhesion forces betwe
en individual fibers is described. The measurement results for cellulo
se fibers in water and aqueous solutions of polyethylenimine were cons
idered. The forces of friction caused only by molecular interactions b
etween fibers, i.e., in the absence of external normal load, were eval
uated.
