Course description
In this course, students will learn about raw materials, types, preparations of pulp and how to produce a paper, properties and structure of paper.
This course consists of two parts. One and another are to understand preparation of pulp, and preparation and propeties of paper, respectively.
This course is regarded as one of courses explaining application of biomass.
Expected Learning
The learner efficiently learns scientific knowledge about pulp and paper as a representative of the material from plant biomass.
