The surface analysis techniques, electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spec- trometry were applied. An uncoated base paper, the ref- erence material, was sized with blends of cationic starch with either co-acrylonitrile-acrylate or co-styrene-acry- late. The results of both techniques are in good agree- ment and complete each other. It was possible not only to detect the presence of the surface sizing agents on the paper surface but also to distinguish them and eval- uate their distribution and relative concentration. In addi- tion, it was found that application of higher amounts of the sizing formulations, at a constant ratio of 20% copoly- mer to starch, did not significantly change the chemical properties of the paper surfaces | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/13404 | ISSN: | 0018-3830 | DOI: | 10.1515/HF.2009.046 | Rights: | openAccess |
