An investigation has been carried out of the limiting packing density of an array of long straight rigid fibres distributed randomly in space as a function of the length of the fibre. We derive an approximate relationship between the limiting volume fraction V f and the slenderness λ of the fibres defined as length divided by diameter. The formula agrees well with our experimental results and those found in the literature.

Here we introduce two simple models: simple cubic random packing and random packing by Hamming distance. Consider the packing density γ d of dimension d by cubic random packing. From computer simulations up to dimension 11, γ d +1/γ d seems to approach 1. Also, we give simulation results for random packing by Hamming distance and discuss the behavior of packing density when dimensionality is increased. For the case of Hamming distances of 2 or 3, d–α fits the simulation results of packing density where α is an empirical constant. The variance of packing density is larger when k is even and smaller when k is odd, where k represents Hamming distance.

Transient water absorption by cellulosic samples manufactured under varying pressure was monitored by near-infrared spectroscopy to explore the absorption behavior affected by the pressure. A substantial level of variation of the spectral features was induced by the water absorption and changes in the pressure. The detail of the spectral changes was analyzed with a multiple-perturbation, two-dimensional (2D) correlation method to determine the underlying mechanism. The 2D correlation spectra indicated that the compression of the cellulose increased the packing density of the samples, preventing the penetration of water. In addition, the compression substantially disintegrated its crystalline structure and eventually resulted in the development of inter- and intrachain hydrogen-bonded structures arising from an interaction between the water and cellulose. Consequently, the cellulose samples essentially underwent an evolutionary change in the polymer structure as well as in the packing density during the compression. This structural change, in turn, led to the seemingly complicated absorption trends, depending on the pressure.
