        Lecturer: Doris Muller-Hess, Hildegard Homburger

        Paper is mainly containing cellulose. The interaction
        between cellulose and water influences the behaviour of the
        paper, its ability to absorb and desorb water. With the aid
        of the didactical material compiled by Irene Bruckle and
        Gerhard Banik in their project "Water and Paper" the
        principles of the interaction of cellulose and water will be
        explained. Various treatment methods of humidification and
        washing and drying techniques will be demonstrated and
        discussed.
