Improving Paper Mechanical Properties Using Silica-modified Ground Calcium Carbonate as Filler
The ability to increase the filler content of paper without significantly sacrificing its mechanical strength is of high interest for papermakers. In this work, three samples of ground calcium carbonate (GCC), differing in size and in brightness, modified with silica via the sol-gel method, were use...
