METHODS OF MEASURING A CHARACTERISTIC OF A CREPING ADHESIVE FILM AND METHODS OF MODIFYING THE CREPING ADHESIVE FILM

摘要

Described herein are quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) and quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCMD) techniques that can be used for measuring characteristics of a creping adhesive film similar to the creping adhesive film that is formed on a Yankee dryer during the tissue and towel manufacturing process. In addition, exemplary embodiments described herein may use these techniques to predict performance of creping aids utilized to form a creping adhesive film.

1. A method of measuring a characteristic of a creping adhesive film disposed on a dryer, comprising:
disposing a creping adhesive film on a sensor substrate; measuring an oscillation frequency of the sensor substrate having the creping adhesive film disposed thereon using a Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) technique; and determining a characteristic of the creping adhesive film.
