When papermakers cook up a new recipe for paper, they want to be sure it's going to work right before making reams and reams of it. Chemists at the University of Jyväskylä have developed spectroscopic techniques to get a three-dimensional analysis of paper, helping the manufacturers monitor the factors that affect print quality. Researchers used laser-induced plasma spectroscopy to create distribution maps from consecutive layers of a paper's coating, showing variations in pigment content. Red areas indicate high pigment content; the dominance of blue in the bottom map reflects low pigment...Read full article
