In neutral papermaking, AKD sizing has raised contraversial opinions.Most of the discussions concern the possible reactions of AKD.In this study the adsorption of AKD is more closely considered.Proper adsorption is a prerequisite for a succesful sizing.A good knowledge of the adsorption behavior is a tool to optimize the AKD dosage on the papermachine.Another subject which has raised a vivid discussion is size reversion.An investigation of the different filler properties as well as the paper making conditions was performed.
