Modified calcium carbonate coatings with rapid absorption and extensive liquid uptake capacity

Cathy J. Ridgway, Patrick A.C. Gane, Joachim Schoelkopf · 2004 · Colloids and Surfaces A Physicochemical and Engineering Aspects

Summary. This paper is not about rural innovation. It describes the development of modified calcium carbonate coatings with enhanced liquid absorption properties for digital printing applications. The researchers engineered new pigment morphologies with dual-scale pore networks that absorb liquids 10 times faster than conventional calcium carbonate, using mercury porosimetry and electron microscopy to characterize the structures.
