Abstract

Homogeneous precipitated calcium carbonate(PCC) was synthesized by calcinations, hydration and carbonation of limestone which has been deposited in Danyang, Korea. In the reaction process, shapes(scalenohedral and cubic) and sizes(0.2~0.3μm and 2.0μm) of the powder were controlled by reaction temperature. Synthesized PCC was applied to hand-made paper as filler and coated paper. For the prepared papers, physical/optical properties(brightness, whiteness, opacity, roughness, gloss, tensile strength, internal tearing strength, stiffness, bursting strength) and printability(ink gloss, ink set-off, dry pick, wet pick) were characterized
