摘要:
Disclosed herein are methods of using inks with gellants, that can form a gel state, as receivers for particle materials. The inks are liquid when jetted, but quickly enter a tacky/semi-solid/gel state when cooled below ink gel temperature on a substrate and prior to curing. Dry powders and solid particulate substances of various types are then applied to the jetted inks and locked in place when the ink is cured.

Disclosed is an organic phase change carrier and a method for forming same, and a phase change ink including same. The organic phase change carrier comprises a colloidal dispersion of nanoparticles exhibiting a substantially uniform distribution of said nanoparticles discretely distributed therewithin, at least one curable monomer; a phase change inducing component, and an initiator. The organic phase change carrier exhibits a substantially uniform distribution of the nanoparticles so that they are discretely distributed therewithin, and are substantially resistant to the aggregation of the nanoparticles distributed therewithin.
摘要:
A reactive ink set including three mixtures of radically polymerizable monomers. A first mixture includes a peroxide, a second mixture includes a peroxide decomposition agent, and an optional third mixture that does not include a peroxide or a peroxide decomposition agent. The first mixture and the second mixture polymerize to form a solid ink on the substrate following jetting in the liquid state.

Disclosed is a phase change ink comprising a colorant, an initiator, and a phase change ink carrier, said carrier comprising (A) a compound which is the reaction product of a mixture comprising (1) an isocyanate; and (2) a component comprising (a) an alcohol having at least one ethylenic unsaturation; (b) an amine having at least one ethylenic unsaturation; (c) an acid having at least one ethylenic unsaturation; or (d) mixtures thereof, (B) a phase change inducing component, said phase change inducing component containing at least one hydroxyl group, said phase change inducing component having a melting point of about 40° C. or higher, and (C) an optional curable viscosity modifying ester, said ink being curable upon exposure to ultraviolet radiation.
摘要:
The phase change, curable composition comprises curable monomer, photoinitiator that initiates polymerization of the curable monomer, and phase change agent that provides the composition with an increase in viscosity of at least four orders of magnitude, from a first temperature, the first temperature being from 50° C. to 130° C., to a second temperature, the second temperature being from 0° C. to 70° C., wherein the second temperature is at least 10° C. below the first temperature. A coating over an image may be applied by providing a composition comprising curable monomer at a first temperature; applying the composition over the image, the image being at a second temperature; and exposing the composition to radiation to initiate polymerization of the curable monomer. In this process, the composition has a viscosity at the second temperature that is at least four orders of magnitude greater than its viscosity at the first temperature.
摘要:
A wax-tethered photoinitiator that is a photoinitiator compound including a wax chain therein, wherein the photoinitiator compound is activated by ultraviolet radiation, and method of making the same is described. The wax-tethered photoinitiator may be used in a curable wax composition for incorporation into a toner. The wax-tethered photoinitiator exhibits an affinity for the wax phase, thereby insuring its presence in the wax for the initiation of curing thereof.
