Abstract

This study explores the effects of paper making parameters (softwood pulp ratio, beating degrees) on medical dialysis base paper performance (air permeability, pore properties). In- creasing softwood pulp ratio enhances air permeability via better pore connectivity, while higher beating degrees reduce it due to denser pore structure. A predictive model using linear path function (L2) and pore connectivity index (S value) is developed. SEM and pore anal- ysis validate the mechanism, emphasizing the balance for ISO 11607 compliance. Results support process optimization and performance prediction.
