2. Objective and Challenge
develop a methodology to prepare pulp fibre samples for direct interfibre wet friction measurement.
Challenge
mounting pulp fibres, on a solid surface using adhesives without contaminating the fibre surface.
The height of the adhesive material should be only a couple of micrometres.

3. Methods
Universal Surface Tester (INNOWEP GmbH, Germany) will be used for measurement of interfibre wet friction.
TUT’s flexible microrobotic platform is used for sample preparation.
