KAU Doctoral Courses is a database with doctoral courses at Karlstad University.
The course will give an overview of the tissue industry including, among other things the following:
Overview of tissue products, marketing structure, product development, smoothness, absorption, converting, unit processes (creping, Yankee drying and press, grinding, drying theory and economy), clothing (forming wires, press felts), wet end chemistry, raw material for tissue (virgin fibres, recycled fibres, softeners and lotions), the raw material and the process effect on product quality and performance, test methods for tissue, hygiene aspects on tissue and product safety and environment certification.
After completion of the course, the participants should have a good understanding of the links between raw materials, manufacturing processes such as tissue machines and converting equipment and tissue properties so that he/she will be able to anticipate routes leading to product improvements and development, either from a position within the tissue industry or in a supplying company. The participants are given a clear view of all aspects of tissue products including not only the physics and chemistry of the raw materials, processes and products, but also hygienic and social issues, marketing and consumer perception. The participants will then be able to relate the fiber structure and the physical properties of the involved materials, as well as the manufacturing processes, to the requirements placed on the products by the consumers.
The course is aimed at university and industry researchers and personnel who are interested in tissue (post-graduate course, also open for undergraduate students).
