Important factors of paperback books quality of adhesion strength in adhesive binding

Major commercial bookbinding technique used today is perfect binding (or adhesive binding), originally used for paperback books. In perfect binding, adhesive is used to attach the pages of a book together and attach the book cover. One of most important criterion for adhesive binding is strength over the whole length of a book leaf. It is known that adhesion strength is function of the bond between the leaf and adhesive and total sum of material contact area. The subjects of research are physical properties of paper that have impact on different general sources of binding strength. The tests were performed with constant parameters of binding process and two chemically different types of paper.
