Abstract
When the rate of yellowing or brightness reversion of pulps and papers is compared, the twofold interaction of lignt scattering materials with light needs to be considered. The Kubelka-Munk theory of diffuse reflections, employing two material constants, the scattering and the absorption coefficients, is a useful description of the optical properties of paper. The application of this theory to the study of paper yellowing is reexamined. Changes in scattering are related to changes in the fundamental properties of paper.
