Starch/rosin complexes for improving the interaction of mineral filler particles with cellulosic fibers, Xiujie Huang et al, Carbohydrate Polymers, 117. On the basis of inclusion complex formation of starch with small guest molecules, the concept of filler modification for papermaking by calcium-ion-induced deposition of starch/rosin complexes in the presence of filler particles was demonstrated. The concept may provide a useful route to the improved use of mineral fillers in the paper industry.
