Paper is a thin nonwoven material traditionally made from a combination of milled plant and textile fibres.
Before papers, people use to carved their art, text and messages in limited available things like tree bark, cave
walls and clay tablets. They realize how difficult for them not to carry one of their works like their written crafts
in the walls. They started to think some of products they can easily write to it and also convenient to carry.

There were so many people who contributed their ideas and lifelong sacrifices behind the one piece of paper.
Their sweat and blood they invested to a goal of making a paper really effective and successful because
nowadays we really use paper in daily basis.

History of Paper
The word "paper" is etymologically derived from papyrus, Ancient Greek for the Cyperus papyrus plant.
Papyrus is a thick, paper-like material produced from the pith of the Cyperus papyrus plant which was used in
ancient Egypt and other Mediterranean societies for writing long before paper was used in China.

The history of paper is inextricably linked with that of culture and science.The spark that set off the invention of
paper was simple but extremely significant. Humans had an urgent need: to communicate certain information to
each other in written form. The information had to be set on a lightweight and durable medium that was easily
transportable. The invention of paper allowed papyrus and parchment to be replaced with a material that was
easier and, with the advent of new production techniques, cheaper to make. Paper has mirrored the evolution of
human society over the centuries: from the dissemination of scientific and philosophical knowledge to the
spread of education right up to the creation of the kind of political and historical consciousness which gave birth
of the modern nation state.
KINDS OF PAPER

Acid-free paper is paper that, if infused in water, yields a neutral or basic


pH (7 or slightly greater). It can be made from any cellulose fiber as long
as the active acid pulp is eliminated during processing. It is also lignin-
and sulfur-free.[1] Acid-free paper addresses the problem of preserving
documents and preserving artwork for long periods.

Inkjet paper is a special fine paper designed for inkjet printers, typically
classified by its weight, brightness and smoothness, and sometimes by its
opacity.

Newsprint is a low-cost, non-archival paper consisting mainly of wood


pulp and most commonly used to print newspapers and other publications
and advertising material. Invented in 1844 by Charles Fenerty of Nova
Scotia, Canada, it usually has an off white cast and distinctive feel. It is
designed for use in printing presses that employ a long web of paper (web
offset, letterpress and flexographic), rather than individual sheets of paper.

Coated paper (also known as enamel paper, gloss paper, and thin paper[1])
is paper that has been coated by a mixture of materials or a polymer to
impart certain qualities to the paper, including weight, surface gloss,
smoothness, or reduced ink absorbency. Various materials, including
kaolinite, calcium carbonate, bentonite, and talc,[2] can be used to coat
paper for high-quality printing used in the packaging industry and in
magazines.
Card stock, also called cover stock and pasteboard, is paper that is thicker
and more durable than normal writing and printing paper, but thinner and
more flexible than other forms of paperboard.Card stock is often used for
business cards, postcards, playing cards, catalogue covers, scrapbooking,
and other applications requiring more durability than regular paper gives.
The surface usually is smooth; it may be textured, metallic, or glossy.
When card stock is labeled cover stock, it often has a glossy coating on
one or both sides (C1S or C2S, for "coated: one side" or "coated: two
sides"); this is used especially in business cards and book covers.

Parchment paper, or vegetable parchment, is a cellulose-based composite


that has been processed to give it additional properties like non-stickiness,
grease resistance, and resistance to humidity. It is commonly used in
baking as a disposable non-stick, grease resistant surface. It should not be
confused with waxed paper, which is paper that has been coated in wax.

Blotting paper, called bibulous paper, is a highly absorbent type of paper


or other material. It is used to absorb an excess of liquid substances (such
as ink or oil) from the surface of writing paper or objects. Blotting paper
referred to as bibulous paper is mainly used in microscopy to remove
excess liquids from the slide before viewing. Blotting paper has also been
sold as a cosmetic to aid in the removal of skin oils and makeup.

Woodfree uncoated paper (WFU), uncoated woodfree paper (UWF) or


uncoated fine papers are manufactured using wood that has been
processed into a chemical pulp that removes the lignin from the wood
fibers and may also contain 5–25% fillers.[1] Both softwood and
hardwood chemical pulps are used and a minor part of mechanical pulp
might be added (often of aspen or poplar). These paper grades are
calendered.
Photographic paper is a paper coated with a light-sensitive chemical
formula, like photographic film, used for making photographic prints.
When photographic paper is exposed to light, it captures a latent image
that is then developed to form a visible image; with most papers the image
density from exposure can be sufficient to not require further
development, aside from fixing and clearing, though latent exposure is
also usually present. The light-sensitive layer of the paper is called the
emulsion. The most common chemistry was based on silver halide (the
focus of this page) but other alternatives have also been used.

Filter paper is a semi-permeable paper barrier placed perpendicular to a


liquid or air flow. It is used to separate fine solid particles from liquids or
gases.Filter paper: used for separating solid from liquid.
