Void structure and permeability of paper relative to that of wood

Abstract

Differences in the permeabilities of wood and paper are considered on the basis of differences in structure resulting in intra fiber permeability of wood and inter fiber permeability of paper as shown by measurements of the pressure to displace saturating liquids held in the structure by surface tension forces.
