Paper is used in many areas of human activity. This is a variety of packaging, and wallpaper, toilet paper, posters and calendars. But the greatest role was played by paper in the formation of the book as a source of knowledge. In this article we will consider the production of paper and how paper is made in modern industries. But first let's take a brief look at how paper was made in ancient times.
Ancient people left their first inscriptions on rocks, animal bones, clay and wax tablets, and parchment. But all methods of capturing information had drawbacks, due to their weight, size or cost. The prototype of paper can be called papyrus, which for many centuries was made by the ancient Egyptians. They removed the core of the papyrus plant, soaked it, and then applied one layer to another so that they laywould lie perpendicular. Then this paper was kept under pressure, which made it possible to obtain a strong and fairly solid material.
