The study of water absorption by capillarity on paper with a simple technique is simple but important to do to inform the public about the characteristics of paper and for the development of research on the absorption of different types of paper. In this study, five types of paper were used, namely HVS paper, cardboard, tissue paper, concord paper and buffalo paper. In the capillary water absorption test on paper, the physical quantities analyzed are the water absorption, the absorption time and the water absorption rate. The capillarity of the paper is a comparison of the rate of water absorption by the paper which is analyzed using the straight line movement approach. The value of water absorption is estimated using the ratio between the height of water absorption and the time absorption. Based on the results of the capillary test on paper, it was found that the water absorption height for the five types of paper increases with increasing absorption time. The highest water absorption capacity is tissue paper, which is 7.4 ± 0.2 cm every 180 seconds. While the lowest water absorption capillarity is HVS paper which is 0.5 ± 0.1 cm at the 180th second. Cardstock and buffalo paper have almost the same water absorption value and are higher than HVS paper and match. The absorption speed which is almost the same between cardboard and buffalo paper is due to the fact that both belong to the same type of paper, namely printing paper.

Conclusion

Based on the research conducted on five types of paper, namely HVS paper, cardboard, tissue, concord paper, and buffalo paper, it can be concluded that the height of water absorption in paper increases with increasing absorption time.The highest water absorption capillarity is tissue paper, measuring 7.05 cm at the 180th second, while the lowest is HVS paper at 0.Cardboard and buffalo paper exhibit similar water absorption capillarity values, which are higher than those of HVS and concord paper.The rate of water absorption increases rapidly at the beginning, but the increase in absorption height becomes less significant with prolonged absorption time.

Future Research

Further research could investigate the influence of paper coating materials on capillary action, potentially leading to the development of papers with tailored absorption properties for specific applications. Additionally, exploring the relationship between paper fiber composition and capillary behavior could provide insights into optimizing paper production for enhanced liquid handling capabilities. Finally, a comparative study examining the capillary action of paper in different environmental conditions, such as varying humidity and temperature, would contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of this phenomenon and its practical implications, particularly in packaging and preservation contexts. These investigations could involve controlled experiments with diverse paper samples and precise measurements of absorption rates under different conditions, ultimately expanding our knowledge of papers interaction with liquids.
