 HYPOTHESIS
We have chosen two materials i.e. fuller earth (multani mitthi) and
waste materials (various types of papers). We have decided to
combine these two materials and will form a composite material
which will be helpful in our construction. We will make textured tile
by combining these two materials which will be used in temporary
structure , partition wall or as interior designing material.

Paper Characteristics
Selecting paper is a very important job for the designer, and there are a
number of paper characteristics, including: weight, grade or type, color,
brightness, reflectance, opacity, smoothness, and grain. For a very
practical guideline how to order paper, see "Buying Paper" . Also, you
may want to read How Paper is Made.

Paper Weight:
Caliper: Caliper is the thickness of a sheet of paper expressed in
thousandth of an inch. This measurement is taken with a micro meter.
Normally, paper caliper should not have more than a plus or minus 5%
variance within a sheet. Usually the greater the caliper (the thicker the
paper), the greater the paper weight but this depends on the density and
finish of the paper. Therefore, the following chart is meant to be
approximate. Every Paper.com paper shows the caliper for that particular
paper.
Basis Weight: The basis weight of a paper is the weight of 500 sheets,
measured in pounds, in that paper's basic sheet size. It is important to
note that the "basic sheet size" is not the same for all types of paper and
it is never 8 1/2 x 11. 8 1/2 x 11 is the result of cutting a Basic Sheet of
Bond paper.
Equivalent Weight: While different paper types have different basic sizes,
papers can still be compared by using equivalent weight. For example a
24 pound bond has the equivalent weight as 60 pound offset. (From:

Paper Color is especially important as it affects the color reproduction of
lighter tints. Paper colors vary with advertising fads from cool to warm
shades. Type is more easily read against a soft (yellowish) white, while
process colors reproduce most accurately on neutral white paper.
 Brightness affects the contrast, brilliance, snap or sparkle of the printed
subject. Artificial brighteners, like florescent additives, can affect color
reproduction since most are not neutral in color and have excess blue
reflectance.
