MORPHOLOGICAL CHANGES OF JACK PINE LATEWOOD AND EARLYWOOD FIBERS IN THERMOMECHANICAL PULPING

The morphological changes of jack pine (Pinus banksiama) earlywood (EW) and latewood (LW) in thermomechanical pulping (TMP) were studied by light microscopy and scanning electronic microscopy. The results indicate that: under the mechanical forces in refining, the EW fibres tend to separate in the P...
