Notes:
A method has been developed which permits the quantitative determination of fiber orientation in a cellulosic sample (paper, nonwoven or composite). From the measured fibril angle distribution function and the observed variation in intensity of the (002) plane of the x-ray pattern, a parameter governing the fiber distribution function is obtained analytically. The method is demonstrated for two different paper samples showing a narrow and a large fiber orientation distribution. The method is rapid for a series of samples involving the same fibers and does not involve any operator interpretation. It gives directly the average fiber orientation function from the bulk of the sample, not just from its surface as microscopic methods do. It can be particularly useful in the analysis of paper-polymer laminates.
