Abstract
Fungal treatment can significantly improve the strength properties of chemithermomechanical pulp fiber, and it can
help to expand the utilizations of the pulp. In this study, surface morphology of the eucalyptus chemithermomechanical
pulp fiber before and after fungal treatment was studied with AFM. AFM phase images revealed that fungal treatment
could remove part of lignin and extractives from fiber surface resulting in high carbohydrate content in the S1 layer of
the fiber. This observation was further supported by 3-D topograph AFM images.
