Traditional micromechanical theories for the tensile strength of paper do not account stiffness paper, even though in practice is closely coupled with stiffness. Another problem input parameters, few which have a precise meaning real paper. Especially interpretation inter-fiber bonding ambiguous. None existing connects an independently measurable value degree or bond strength. As result, conventional data unreliable. In this we will present “macromechanical” study that measured values and z-directional fracture energy (alternatively Scott index). The model expression agrees well many – but all experimental datasets had available. disagreements demonstrate measurements capture some aspects contribute to in-plane
