![](blob.php?490) | | The Christian Doppler Laboratory on Mass transport through paper was inaugurated on April 24th.
In the laboratory, director Karin Zojer and her team (TU Graz, Med Uni Graz) aim at predicting the efficiency and speed of transport of gasses, particles, and microorganisms through paper sheets.
To relate this transport efficiency to the paper-specific pore structure, the team will combine mathematical and statistical modelling with complementary experiments.
Such investigations will shed light on processes such as oxygen exchange in paper packages under storage conditions, drying speed of ink droplets, or on the air ventilation during filling of dry goods in paper bags.
