| Abstract Scope |
Understanding the mechanisms of water transport through single and multi-layered membranes is an important subject in paper and polymer processing. In this study, the transport mechanism of water through a sheet of paper coated with a thin layer of polymeric material was studied. A combination of modeling and experimental methods was utilized to quantify various phenomena contributing to water transport through this multilayer structure. A physical model for the transport of water via molecular diffusion and capillary imbibition through the polymeric coating defect space and the paper fiber phase was developed. |
