Abstract

Paper is a porous structure containing two broad classes of pore: inter and intra-fibre, and penetration of liquids such as water is determined by the geometries of the two classes. In this brief note we wish to describe a technique and present preliminary results on surface wetting and absorption into single
fibres.
