1. Physical and chemical properties of paper
1.1 Molecular and morphological structure of cellulose
Paper is a fibrous material, with each fiber made up of several hundred microfibrils, grouping together a few hundred cellulose molecules. The average cotton fiber is 30 mm long and 10 μm in diameter . A coniferous wood fiber, called a tracheid, has an average length of 2 to 4 mm; a hardwood fiber is two to three times shorter (average length 1 mm) and 50 to 100 μm wide
