New modified filler obtained by silica formed by sol–gel method on calcium carbonate

This study focus on the modification of the particles of precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) with silica formed in situ by sol–gel method. The new materials were characterized by several spectroscopic, analytical and microscopic techniques. A dense film of highly branched silica was formed at the s...
