Volume 4 Papermaking Chemistry
Book editor: Raimo Alén, Dr.Tech., Professor, University of Jyväskylä,
In general, this new book is primarily intended as a basic introduction to papermaking chemistry aimed at the same category of readers as the first edition – not only for students and teachers but generally also for those working either in the laboratory as researchers or in production and planning. However, it is also obvious that in this revised edition less attention may be paid to certain topics, including, for example, the chemistry of aluminium in papermaking. For this reason, in these cases a complementary use of both books is recommended.

Volume 5 Mechanical Pulping
Book editor: Bruno Lönnberg, D.Sc. (Tech.), Professor emeritus, Åbo Akademi University
The purpose of a mechanical pulping process is to separate the fibres from the wood matrix, hopefully in a form suitable for a specific papermaking process. This is of course a demanding task, and for an outsider it might sound like magic that solid wood at all can be converted into useful fibres just by treating it mechanically. This book covers the basics and fundamentals of mechanical pulping including all the processes related to mechanical pulping.

Volume 11 Pigment Coating and Surface Sizing of Paper
Book editor: Jouni Paltakari, D.Sc. (Tech.), Professor, Helsinki University of Technology
The first edition of the Pigment Coating and Surface Sizing text and handbook was published in 2000. Since then, several things have changed in coating technology and machinery development. In addition, coating materials have undergone considerable development and new solutions have been introduced. The first edition was rich in contents but also rich in pages and therefore rather thick and heavy. In producing this revised second edition the aim was to update the technical content and to present new insights, while keeping to a smaller number of pages. In addition, special attention was paid to the readability of the book. Like the first one, the second edition is intended to serve as a text and handbook for pigment coating and surface sizing technologies.

Volume 15 Materials, Corrosion Prevention and Maintenance
Book editors: Jari Aromaa, Helsinki University of Technology and Anja Klarin, ÅF-IPK AB
This book provides an overview of materials, environments, and their interaction. This interaction is corrosion. Methods of corrosion control, monitoring, maintenance, etc., provide a starting point for solving corrosion problems. This book is not a list of solutions to particular problems. Such a list would be impractical since the coverage would not be complete and current because materials and environments change constantly. The book also does not give detailed process descriptions. The reader should study relevant books in this series for such information. The examples given for corrosion forms, corrosive environments, and corrosion prevention are common in the pulp and paper industry.

Volume 17 Pulp and Paper Testing
Book editors: Jan-Erik Levlin and Liva Söderhjelm
Testing and analytical procedures are needed to describe the properties of
- Single fibers
- The fiber collective in the form of fiber suspensions
- The fiber collective in the form of the final network – the paper.
Actually, a large number of more or less direct testing and analytical methods have already been developed. These are described in this book. Interactions between fibers, fillers, and other components are much more difficult to measure directly and to describe in numerical terms. Much research is being done in this area to further our understanding of the phenomena involved. In compiling this volume, some limitations were necessary. Thus the book deals only with laboratory tests.

Volume 18 Paper and Board Grades
Book editor: Hannu Paulapuro, D. Sc. (Tech.), Professor, Helsinki University of Technology
There are hundreds of different types of papers and boards produced in the world and new types are continuously emerging. This book does not aim to examine them all, but covers the most important grades in the international markets. The classification is based on that used by the European forest industry companies, with the main division being: Printing and writing papers, paperboards, tissue and Speciality papers. Each group is divided into subgroups and main grades and the grades are examined in view of the end uses, raw material composition, and manufacturing technology. Air-laid papers are dealt with in a separate group. Data on the end-use properties are not normally presented, since they are changing continuously due to ever-increasing quality competition.
