TI  - Obtaining and Utilizing Cellulose Fibers with in-Situ Loading as an Additive for 
      Printing Paper.

AB  - The goal of this study was to analyze the effects of cellulose fibers loading by 
      precipitation in-situ of calcium carbonate over the properties of printing paper 
      obtained from mixtures of the softwood and hardwood fibers. The effects of fibers 
      with in-situ loading were analyzed comparatively with conventional paper loading 
      respectively, by adding precipitated calcium carbonate into fiber stock. The 
      effectiveness of the methods was evaluated by various analyses and 
      investigations: calcium carbonate content, Scanning electron microscope (SEM) 
      images, X-ray diffraction, optical and mechanical properties of the paper sheets. 
      The evaluation of the effects on paper properties led to the conclusion that, at 
      the same filler content, the in-situ loading method gives higher opacity and 
      brightness than conventional methods. The utilization of cellulose fibers with 
      in-situ loading as additive, shown as a modification of the ratio between fibers 
      with in-situ loading and fibers without loading, regardless of whether they are 
      softwood or hardwood fibers, allowed us to optimize printing paper properties, 
      especially regarding the relationship between optical and strength properties.
