A filler comprising cellulose or lignocellulose fibrils on which light-scattering material particles have been deposited, and a process for the manufacture thereof. In the filler according to the invention, an alkyl derivative of cellulose, such as CMC, has been sorbed to the fibrils. Such a filler can be prepared from a source material containing cellulose or lignocellulose fibrils by first forming a fibril suspension, into which there are fed source materials forming an inorganic or organic salt that, when precipitating, forms a light-scattering pigment. The filler according to the invention has very good strength properties; in particular, good bond strength is achieved by means of it. The concentration of mineral pigment in paper can be increased and, furthermore, the grammage of paper can be lowered without the other important properties of the paper deteriorating.

What is claimed is: 1. A filler comprising cellulose or lignocellulose fibrils on which light-scattering material particles have been deposited, characterized in that an alkyl derivative of cellulose is sorbed to the fibrils. 2. The filler according to claim 1, characterized in that it comprises cellulose or lignocellulose fibrils prepared from vegetable fibers by beating and, when so desired, screening, the average thickness of the fibrils being smaller than 5 μm. 3. The filler according to claim 2, characterized in that the alkyl derivative of cellulose is sorbed into fibrils corresponding to a fraction passing a 50 mesh screen and/or having an average thickness of 0. 01-5 μm and an average length of 10-1500 μm. 4. The filler according to claim 1, characterized in that the light-scattering material particles are inorganic or organic salts which can be formed from their source materials by precipitation in an aqueous medium. 5. The filler according to claim 4, characterized in that the light-scattering material particles are calcium carbonate, calcium oxalate, calcium sulfate, barium sulfate, or a mixture thereof. 6. The filler according to claim 1, characterized in that the material particles are deposited on the fibrils in order to produce a string-of-pearls-like aggregate. 7. The filler according to claim 1, characterized in that the alkyl derivative of cellulose is carboxymethyl cellulose, carboxyethyl cellulose, methyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose, or ether derivatives thereof. 8. The filler according to claim 7, characterized in that the alkyl derivative of cellulose is carboxymethyl cellulose having a DS of 0. 1-1.2, preferably approx. 0.4-0.9. 9. The filler according to claim 1, characterized in that the quantity of the light-scattering material particles in proportion to the quantity of fibrils is 0.0001-95% by weight, preferably approx. 0.1-90% by weight, most suitably approx. 60-80% by weight, calculated from the quantity of filler, and the quantity of the alkyl derivative of cellulose in proportion to the quantity of fibrils is approx. 0.1-30% by weight, preferably approx. 1-20% by weight, calculated from the fines in the filler. 10. A process for preparing a filler, according to which process light-scattering material particles are deposited on cellulose or lignocellulose fibrils in an aqueous medium, characterized in that an alkyl derivative of cellulose is added to the medium and is allowed to become sorbed into the fibrils in the filler. 11. The process according to claim 10, characterized by preparing a fibril suspension from a source material containing cellulose fibrils or lignocellulose fibrils, feeding into the fibril suspension source materials forming an inorganic salt which, upon precipitating, forms a light-scattering pigment, allowing the precipitating, light-scattering pigment to attach to the fibrils, mixing, at a selected stage, with the fibril suspension an alkyl derivative of cellulose which is at least partly in a form dissolved in water, and allowing the derivative to attach to the fibrils. 12. The process according to claim 10, characterized in that the alkyl derivative of cellulose used is carboxymethyl cellulose, carboxyethyl cellulose, methyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose, or ether derivatives thereof. 13. The process according to claim 12, characterized in that the alkyl derivative of cellulose is carboxymethyl cellulose which has a degree of substitution of 0.1-1.2, most suitably 0.4-0.9, and is dissolved in water or an alkali solution. 14. The process according to claim 10, characterized by allowing the alkyl derivative of cellulose to attach to the cellulose and/or lignocellulose fibrils so that at least 10%, preferably at least 20%, and especially preferably at least 30%, of the derivative present in the aqueous phase attaches to the fibrils. 15. The process according to claim 10, characterized by feeding into the fibril suspension so large a quantity of the cellulose derivative that the amount of the alkyl derivative sorbing into the fibrils is 0.1-30%, preferably 1-20%, of the weight of the fibrils. 16. The process according to claim 10, characterized by maintaining the pH of the fibril suspension is maintained at 7 or at a higher value during the sorption of the alkyl derivative of cellulose. 17. The process according to claim 10, characterized by feeding into the fibril suspension an aqueous calcium hydroxide solution, which possibly contains solid calcium hydroxide, and an aqueous solution of a carbonate compound and/or gaseous carbon dioxide. 18. The process according to claim 10, characterized by sorbing the alkyl derivative of cellulose to the fibrils at the same time as light-scattering material particles are being attached to the fibrils by deposition, or by carrying out the sorption after the deposition of the light-scattering material particles. 19. The process according to claim 10, characterized by sorbing the alkyl derivative of cellulose to the fibrils before light-scattering material particles are attached to them by deposition. 20. The use of a filler according to claim 1 for making of paper having good wet strength.
