Abstract
Foam coating technique has shown to be a promising method for applying
a thin pigment layer of nanoparticles on a paper web. The interest in
applying a low coat weight coating layer is to create new functional surfaces
using small amounts of new, typically expensive nanoparticles. The
characterisation of thin pigment layer properties is more demanding than
analysing traditional pigment coatings layers because of the low layer
thickness of 1 µm or less with a coat weight of between 0.3 and 2 g/m2. This
characterisation requires surface sensitive measuring techniques and a
combination of different microscopic and spectroscopic surface analyses. In
this study, the pigment layer structure and chemical properties of
nanosilica-coated paper were analysed. The results were utilised in the
development of the foam coating process
