modified PCC exhibit almost the same tear index noticed in Fig. 10A. Though authors have not emphasized much on the behavior of tear strength of paper while using chitosan as a filler modifier [14, 19], a similar effect was

observed when PCC-cellulose hybrid composites were incorporated in sheet [63]. On the other hand, at the same ash level, filler retention of unmodified and modified PCC calculated is 38% and 50%, respectively. It is commonly
