A Report on Tokyo Paper 2015, a Joint Conference of the 9^th International Paper and Coating Chemistry Symposium & International Paper Physics Conference

Abstract

Many scientists and engineers from overseas joined us for Tokyo Paper 2015, a joint conference of the 9^th International Paper and Coating Chemistry Symposium and the International Paper Physics Conference, which took place in the University of Tokyo during October 29 to November 1 in 2015. The conference set the stage for their communication and discussion focusing on paper and coating chemistry, paper physics, the latest developments in bio-composites and nanocellulose materials, new papermaking technologies including stratified forming and foam forming, and computer process simulation. The conference provided an opportunity for future collaboration between the members in an in-depth investigation that could continue to transform the pulp and paper industries to stay viable and profitable.
