摘要

The quality of cigarette paper, crucial for determining its pyrolysis and combustion characteristics, directly influences the cigarette combustion process. Fiber raw materials, forming the basis of cigarette paper, and additives, acting as combustion catalysts, significantly impact these properties. This investigation employed derivative thermogravimetry (DTG) with normalized root-mean-square error (NRMSE) to establish quantitative stability metrics for cigarette paper. By comparing the DTG curves of cigarette papers from Factory A and Factory B, we evaluated the effects of interactions between fiber materials and additives on the paper’s quality stability. The findings revealed that the specific fiber materials and optimized additive content used by Factory A enabled the fiber materials ratio and additive content to vary over a broad range while maintaining a stable DTG curve. This stability effectively mitigated the risk of DTG curve fluctuations due to uneven mixing of raw materials and additives during production. Consequently, the DTG curve serves as a valuable metric for cigarette paper design, aiding in the optimization of fiber-additive combinations. This innovative approach offers significant potential for improving the quality and consistency of cigarette paper in the future product designs.
