Abstract

Surface properties of paper include the surface roughness component and the surface friction component. The former component is topographical in nature while the latter is mechanical. Using a surface tester (Model: KES-SESRU, Kato Tech, Japan) with a single U-tube wire stylus, both the surface roughness and the surface friction data can be obtained simultaneously. This instrument is a contact type where the stylus touches the surface to collect 200 data points per 20 mm (or 10 points/mm) scan, corresponding to a space distance of 100 μm between two adjacent points. The data of 10 points/mm was found to be insufficient to use the variogram method for fractal dimension (FD) analysis. By connecting a logger to the instrument, 100 data points/mm, corresponding to the space distance of 10 μm, were obtained. This number was sufficient for the FD analysis of SMD (the mean deviation from the roughness average, Ra) and the MMD (the mean deviation from the mean coefficient of surface friction, MIU). Surface characteristics of six commercial toilet paper samples were examined in the present study. The results showed that the SMD had a very high correlation with the MMD, indicating that these two are closely related to each other. Meanwhile, correlation between the FD values of the SMD and the MMD was very poor. A systematic examination should be performed to explain the poor correlation. Nevertheless, it looks promising that the FD analysis technique can be applied for characterizing the surface properties of hygiene paper using a contact type surface tester such as Kawabata surface tester.
