It is tried to be explored as filler in papermaking in this paper, the results showed diatomite was suited for light printing paper.

For example, Innovalight, based in Sunnyvale, ca, has developed a method for printing silicon nanoparticles that can improve the amount of light conventional crystalline silicon solar panels absorb.

The production technology, equipment selection, quality performance and the application of light weight printing paper are probed in the paper.
