Enhanced performance and functionality of titanium dioxide papermaking pigments with controlled morphology and surface coating

Novel, tailored titanium dioxide pigments with controllable nanoscale morphological features were shown to significantly enhance the optical and strength properties of paper. The opacifying power of synthesized polycrystalline TiO2 particles in a cellulose matrix was found experimentally to be super...
