“…In this study, we dispersed calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ) particles in aqueous suspensions with various surfactants using wet-jet milling. CaCO 3 is currently being used in biological and industrial fields, such as in paper coating, paint, polymer molding, food, and preparation of clay materials, owing to its ease of production, high biocompatibility, and slow biodegradability [ 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 ]. Especially, the preparation of smaller sized CaCO 3 nanoparticles in a liquid phase is becoming essential to produce better functional properties in various fields since reducing the size of particle induces a larger specific surface area and a higher surface energy [ 23 , 24 ].…”
