Abstract Many chemical pulp mills use pulp viscosity as an indicator of pulp strength, and some mill customers stipulate a particular viscosity threshold for the delivered product. Nevertheless, the value of the viscosity-strength relationship is often questioned, particularly as it varies with the wood species and the pulping process. To provide some insight, the viscosity, degree of polymerisation and fibre length were measured for a bleached softwood sulfite pulp segregated into different fractions with respect to fibre length using a Bauer-McNett fractionator. It was demonstrated that fractions with a longer average fibre length also had a higher degree of polymerisation and higher viscosity. The cellulose chain length in chemical pulps is approximately three orders of magnitude shorter than the fibre length, and thus a relationship between these two properties should not be expected. The possible causes of the correlation between fibre length and viscosity are discussed. In this work, viscosity appears to be an indirect measurement of the average fibre length of a pulp, which would be the direct contributor to the strength of that pulp.

Ceramics, such as Al2O3 and SiC have numerous current and potential uses in applications where high temperature strength, hardness, and wear resistance are required often in corrosive environments. These materials are, however, highly anisotropic and brittle, so that their mechanical behavior is often unpredictable. The further development of these materials will require a better understanding of the basic mechanisms controlling deformation, wear, and fracture.The purpose of this talk is to describe applications of TEM to the study of the deformation, wear, and fracture of Al2O3. Similar studies are currently being conducted on SiC and the techniques involved should be applicable to a wide range of hard, brittle materials.
