Previsão das propriedades físicas do papel kraft por espectroscopia no infravermelho próximo (NIR) e regressão por mínimos quadrados parciais (PLS) Estimation of physical properties of kraft paper by near infrared spectroscopy an partial least squares regression

Abstract

The main objective of the present work is represented by the characterization of the physical properties of industrial kraft paper (i.e. transversal and longitudinal tear resistance, transversal traction resistance, bursting or crack resistance, longitudinal and transversal compression resistance (SCT (Compressive Strength Tester) and compression resistance (RCT-Ring Crush Test)) by near infrared spectroscopy associated to partial least squares regression. Several multivariate models were developed, many of them with high prevision capacity. In general, low prevision errors were observed and regression coefficients that are comparable with those provided by conventional standard methodologies.
