In this study, we investigated retention characteristics of nanocoated GCC that was positively modified by Layer-by-Layer (LbL) multilayering process. Three layers were formed onto GCC particles with poly-DADMAC/PSS/poly-DADMAC (PD3) and C-starch/A-PAM/C-starch (CS3) systems, respectively. Untreated GCC, PD3 GCC (strongly positive charge) and CS3 GCC (weekly positive charge) were retained on pulp fibers under single retention system or microparticle retention system conditions. In single retention system, PD3 particles were not affected by cationic retention aid due to their strong positive charge, whereas CS3 particles reacted with cationic retention aid due to anionic sites on the surface of the weekly positive particles. In a microparticle retention system, positively modified GCC (PD3 and CS3) showed higher retention level than untreated GCC at the same dosage of retention aid. The cationic surface of GCC particles were more reacted with bentonite so the deposition onto pulp fibers was improved. In addition, the retention level of nanocoated GCC was increased with maintaining good formation.

In this study, the H₂S gas sensing characteristics were evaluated using surface-modified SnO₂ microparticles by tip sonication. The surface-modified SnO₂ microparticles were synthesized using the following sequential process. First, bare SnO₂ microparticles were synthesized via a hydrothermal method. Then, the surfaces of bare SnO₂ microparticles were modified with Ti nanoparticles during tip sonication. The sensing characteristics of SnO₂ microparticles modified with Ti were systematically investigated in the range of 100-300℃, compared with the bare SnO₂ microparticles. In this study, we discuss in detail the improved H₂S sensing characteristics of SnO₂ microparticles via Ti nanoparticle modification.
