Abstract

Magnetic paper handsheets with pigment loadings in the order of 10–30%, depending on the experimental conditions, have been made using the established “lumen-loading” technology. These sheets have bulk magnetic properties comparable with the computer floppy-disk products. In order to minimize the particle size of pigments and thereby explore a new level of optical and magnetic properties, in situ synthesis of pigment particles is a second approach. This chemistry starts with a carboxymethylcellulose substrate with ion-exchange properties for Fe(ll). The substrates, before and after oxidation reactions to produce ferrite particles, are characterized by: conductimetric titration, x-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, and magnetization determination. Electron microscopy and diffraction provide insight on the ferrite morphologicals. These specialty fibers allow exploration of new concepts in papermaking, information storage, security printing and paper handling.
