New Yellow Synergist for Stable Pigment Dispersion of Inkjet Ink

J Nanosci Nanotechnol. 2018 Feb 1;18(2):1336-1338. doi: 10.1166/jnn.2018.14910.

Abstract

Minimizing ink droplet and self-dispersed pigment mixture are becoming hot issues for high resolution of inkjet printing. New synergist including sulfonic acid group of PY-74 was suggested and synthesized. Pigment itself did not show water solubility but new synergist, SY-11 exhibited good solubility in water and organic solvents such as DMSO and DMF. When aqueous pigment ink was prepared with SY-11, storage stability of the ink has been remained for 7 days under periodically repeated heating and cooling conditions. Particle size of formulated ink was around 150 nm.
