Process for the manufacture of structured materials using nano-fibrillar cellulose gels

摘要

A process for manufacturing structured material by providing cellulose fibres and at least one filler and/or pigment, combining the cellulose fibres and the at least one filler and/or pigment, fibrillating the cellulose fibres in the presence of the at least one filler and/or pigment until a gel is formed, subsequently providing additional non-fibrillated fibres, and combining the gel with the additional non-fibrillated fibres.
