A process for manufacturing a structured material comprising the steps of: (a) providing cellulose fibres;(b) providing at least one filler comprising calcium carbonate;(c) combining the cellulose fibres of step a) and the at least one filler of step b) at a weight ratio of fibres to filler on a dry weight basis of from 1:33 to 10:1;(d) fibrillating the cellulose fibres in an aqueous environment in the presence of the at least one filler from step c) until a nano-fibrillar gel is formed; wherein the formation of the gel is verified by monitoring the viscosity of the mixture in dependence of the shearing rate, wherein the viscosity decrease of the mixture upon step-wise increase of the shearing rate is larger than the corresponding viscosity increase upon subsequent step-wise reduction of the shearing rate over at least part of the shear rate range as shearing approaches zero;(e) providing additional non-fibrillated fibres in the form of a fibre web;(f) combining the nano-fibrillar gel of step d) with the non-fibrillated fibres in the form of a fibre web of step e), so that the combination of the nano-fibrillar gel and the non-fibrillated fibres includes 0.5 to 20 wt. % of the nano-fibrillar gel, expressed by the cellulosic content of the nano-fibrillar gel, on a dry/dry basis; and(g) manufacturing a structured material from the combination of the nano-fibrillar gel and non-fibrillated fibres in the form of a fibre web. 2. The process according to claim 1, wherein the combination of the nano-fibrillar gel and the non-fibrillated fibres in the form of a fibre web from step f) is subjected to dewatering. 3. The process according to claim 1, wherein the cellulose fibres of steps a) and/or e) are independently selected from the group consisting of eucalyptus pulp, spruce pulp, pine pulp, beech pulp, hemp pulp, cotton pulp, bamboo pulp, bagasse, recycled pulp, and deinked pulp, or any mixture thereof. 4. The process according to claim 1, wherein the cellulose fibres of step a) are provided in the form of a suspension. 5.
