ABSTRACT

I would like to dedicate this chapter to the memory of three paper scientists who encouraged and inspired me to seek a career in the discipline of paper physics. The first is Dr. Bertil Ivarsson, who was my first research director when I joined Westvaco Corporation in 1966. Bertil not only encouraged my involvement in paper physics through refining but, as I later discovered, had done landmark research into the nature of drying stresses. The second is Dr. Otto Kallmes, a great teacher and friend in my formative days of paper physics. The third is Dr. David Rutland, for many years a scientist with Xerox Corporation and well respected in the paper physics community, who contributed to an understanding of the nature and con­ tribution of internal stresses to the dimensional stability of paper.
