Abstract

ABSTRACT Wood samples of locally grown Eucalyptus camaldulensis, E. cladocalyx, E. fruticetorum, E. microcorys, E. pallidifolia, E. redunca, E. crebra, E. tereticornis, E. microtheca, E. milanophloia, E. ochrophloia, E. toerelliana and E. citriodora were studied for their fibre morphological characteristics. Runkel ratio, felting power, flexibility co-efficient and rigidity co-efficient ratios were derived from the average values of fiber dimensions. E. crebra was found the most suitable for high bursting strength, tensile strength, folding endurance, flexible, dense and well formed paper whereas, E. citriodora for high tearing resistance and well bonded paper due to maximum fibre length and felting power ratio.
