Study Guide

Objective

The student knows the principles and methods of papermaking and knows the development stages of the history and process of papermaking. The student understands the fiber structure of paper and knows the properties of plant fiber. The student understands the relationship between paper properties and manufacturing methods and is able to evaluate paper behavior and aging properties. The student is able to perform fiber analyzes of paper and use it to define the paper fiber raw material and identify the manufacturing method, as well as to provide indicative timing.

Evaluation scale

0-5

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1)

The student is familiar with the history and manufacture of papermaking, but the knowledge is fragmented and the student does not have a comprehensive understanding of the origin of paper properties or the impact of manufacturing methods on them. The student’s skills and lab work are deficient. The student is only able to perform paper fiber analysis and identification under supervision. The student has deficiencies in microscopy skills and laboratory work.

Assessment criteria, good (3)

The student is familiar with the history and manufacture of papermaking and is able to evaluate their effect on the properties, behavior and aging of paper. The student understands the properties of paper fibrous structure and plant fiber and their effect on paper behavior. The student is able to perform fiber analysis and identification of paper independently. The student is able to use microscopes and laboratory work is safe and proper. The student independently identifies fibers based on dyeing reagents and morphology.

Assessment criteria, excellent (5)

The goals for the course have been achieved in a commendable way. The student understands the importance of papermaking methods and fiber properties to the properties of the finished paper and its behavior.
