Dr. M. Bruce Lyne

The impact of recycled materials on the longevity and endurance of paper is under study by paper chemists During his presentation at the October 1991 Hearing on Permanent Paper Use Implementation at the National Library of Medicine, Dr. M. Bruce Lyne, Manager, Applied Surface Science, International Paper Company, Tuxedo, NY, expressed confidence in the paper industry's ability to adjust technologies to meet the needs of both the recycling and permanent paper initiatives.Lyne, chairman of the Technical Association of the Pulp and Paper Industry (TAPPI) Publications Committee, noted that research is underway on lignin--the substance in wood pulp that turns all paper brown and has been suspected of contributing to eventual brittleness [from audio transcript]:
