Patent number: 9605383Abstract: Systems and methods for attaching particulate additives to a population of cellulose fibers dispersed in an aqueous solution are described. The cellulose fibers are treated with an activator that forms complexes with them. The particulate additive is attached to a tether that is capable of interacting with the activator, thereby forming a tether-bearing particulate additive.
