Starch/rosin complexes for improving the interaction of mineral filler particles with cellulosic fibers, X. Huanga et al, Carbohydrate Polymers, 117. On the basis of inclusion complex formation of starch with small guest molecules, the concept of filler modification for paper-making by calcium-ion-induced deposition of starch/rosin complexes in the presence of filler particles was demonstrated. Due to the cellulose-bondable nature of starch/rosin complexes, filler modification resulted in improved interaction of filler particles with cellulosic fibres, leading to reduced negative impact of filler addition on paper strength.
