Studying the Influence of Additives on Binding Cellulose Fibers by IR Spectroscopy

Abstract

The paper is devoted to the investigation of the polymer additives’ influence on the strength properties of a sheet and to the analysis of the absorption bands related to the vibration of the groups that participated in the formation of the network of hydrogen bonds in the system: fiber–water–additive. The relation between the intensity of the absorption bands of the stretching vibration of the hydroxyl groups and the deformational vibrations of the water molecules and the functional groups with the sheet’s strength properties is presented.
