High-filler-content paper is a growing research and development opportunity in papermaking. These new products must address traditional paper product properties while providing papermakers with distinct product platform benefits. Over the past decade, a research team involving researchers from the Institute of Paper Science and Technology at Georgia Institute of Technology and from Imerys have significantly advanced the application of starch-encapsulated papermaking fillers. This review summarizes these accomplishments from initial laboratory studies to mill trials. Laboratory results have illustrated that starch-encapsulated fillers can facilitate a near-doubling of filler content over conventional levels at equal tensile and z-direction tensile (ZDT) values. Equally important is that the use of starch-encapsulated kaolin (SEK) filler has been shown to facilitate a doubling of filler addition rate without any detrimental impact on ring crush compared with control studies with filler. Pilot-plant and mill trials have shown that SEK can function as a fiber extender, reduce steam demand for drying by 10%, and increase papermaking speeds and production rates.

This Intervention traces, through email exchanges and blog correspondence, the evolution of a piece for percussion (surfaces) written by James Saunders for Simon Limbrick. The full piece is intended to last twenty-four hours in performance, and involves the sonic activation and exploration of a variety of materials by means of a whole array of techniques. The collaborative development of surfaces is documented in words and images over the ten months from first ideas to first performance, revealing the intertwining of material, conceptual, practical and aesthetic considerations in the creative process.
