Brucite/TiO2 composite particle was prepared with Titanium dioxide (TiO2), coating on brucite particles’ surfaces by mechano-chemical method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and infrared spectra were used to investigate the microstructures, morphologies of the composite and the reaction mechanism. The results show that the ground extent of brucite as well as the mixed particles of brucite and TiO2 should keep at a suitable state. The hiding power and whiteness of the composite particles are 17.24[Formula: see text]g/m2 and 96.88%, respectively, presenting its similarity to TiO2 in pigment properties. TiO2 coats evenly on the surfaces of brucite through surface dehydroxylation reaction during mechano-chemical method.

The size characterization of particles present in the form of agglomerates in images measured by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) requires a powerful image segmentation tool in order to properly define the boundaries of each particle. In this work, we propose to use an algorithm from the deep statistical learning community, the Mask-RCNN, coupled with transfer learning to overcome the problem of generalization of the commonly used image processing methods such as watershed or active contour. Indeed, the adjustment of the parameters of these algorithms is almost systematically necessary and slows down the automation of the processing chain. The Mask-RCNN is adapted here to the case study and we present results obtained on titanium dioxide samples (non-spherical particles) with a level of performance evaluated by different metrics such as the DICE coefficient, which reaches an average value of 0.95 on the test images.
