Abstract
A spruce bleached kraft pulp was cut to varying degrees in an attempt to determine the influence of fiber length on the rheological properties of the wet-web. The results indicated that greater fiber lengths increased wet-web strength properties. The rheological data implied surface tension as the basic mechanism of strength properties between 16% and 30% solids, and on this data the mechanism of wet-web behavior under stress was proposed.
