摘要:
The invention relates to a method for producing fluorescent inorganic nanoparticles, whereby the nanoparticles are comprised of a host material containing at least one dopant. The inventive synthesis involving the use of organic solvents results in a significantly better yield than that achieved in prior art water synthesis. Articles of all types can be advantageously marked and, by using automated methods, can be reliably authenticated based on a characteristic emission. In addition, the size distribution of the produced nanoparticles is tighter thus rendering a subsequent separation according to size unnecessary.

The invention relates to a printing method according to which, during the printing process, one or more narrow nozzles eject a printing liquid, and to a printing liquid suitable for such a method. The invention is particularly suitable for forgery-proof printing on papers or articles. According to the invention, the printing liquid contains nanoparticles that can be induced to fluoresce or phosphoresce. Said nanoparticles are small crystalline particles that can be induced to fluoresce or phosphoresce on their own or when mixed with dopants. Individual dots (10, 12) can be printed by means of a printing liquid that contains said nanoparticles. Due to their small size of from 1 to 1000 nanometers, preferably in the range of 300 nanometers or even much smaller depending on nozzle diameter, there is no risk of very narrow ink jet nozzles getting plugged. The induction and fluorescence emission frequency ranges are narrow-band so that for a security control of the print the respective wavelength-specific induction or detection is required, thereby increasing protection against forgery.

The invention relates to synthesis of nanoparticles, in particular to methods for producing nanoparticles with a networks consisting of Z sulphate (Z = magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr), barium (Ba) or the binary mixtures thereof). The inventive method consists in synthesising the nanoparticles by crystal growth from an ion Z source and a sulphate ion source in a synthesis liquid phase mixture. The aim of said invention is to produce in a simple way barium sulphate nanoparticles having a small diameter, said particles being uniformly dispersed in water or other solvents. For this purpose, co-ordinating solvents like glycerine, glycol ethylene and other polyethylene glycols, polyalcohols or dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO) are used for the synthesis mixture. In the preferred embodiment, barium is used in the form of chloride and the sulphate source in the form of tetrabutylammonium hydrogen sulphate. Other metallic dopants can be eventually integrated in the nanoparticles network. When the synthesis is also used in the form of chloride.

The invention relates to a dental material, which contains surface-modified nanoparticles with an average particle size of less than 25 nm in the form of a filler, said nanoparticles being selected from the salts of barium, strontium, rare-earth metals, scandium or yttrium, or from wolframates. The surface of said nanoparticles is modified by an organic compound that bonds with the nanoparticles by means of a functional group containing N, P, S and/or O. Said dental material exhibits an excellent X-ray opacity, in addition to important processing characteristics such as transparency or dispersion stability.
