A dual color electronically addressable ink includes a non-polar carrier fluid; a first colorant of a first color; and a second colorant of a second color that is different than the first color. The first colorant includes a first particle core, and a first functional group attached to a surface of the particle core. The first functional group is capable of carrying a positive charge and is chosen from a base or a salt of the base. The second colorant includes a particle core, and a second functional group attached to a surface of the particle core. The second functional group is capable of carrying a negative charge and is chosen from an acid or a salt of the acid. The ink further includes an additive chosen from polyhydroxystearic amide salt, polyhydroxystearic acid, aromatic butyric acid, and combinations thereof.

The present invention is drawn to an aqueous emulsion composition. The composition includes an aqueous phase and a hydrophobic phase dispersed in the aqueous phase, which includes a plurality of hydrophobic monomers. The monomers are acid-functionalized and hydrophobic, with less than 10% solubility in water. In one aspect, the monomers can be aromatic. Such monomers can be polymerized with other monomers to form latex particulates. A latex can include latex particulates dispersed in an aqueous fluid medium. In one embodiment, latex particulates can include from about 0.1 wt % to about 25 wt % of polymerized hydrophobic acid-functionalized monomer, and at least one other polymerized film-forming monomer. The latex can be formulated as an ink-jet ink.

A dual color electronically addressable ink includes a non-polar carrier fluid, a first colorant of a first color, and a second colorant of a second color that is different than the first color. The first colorant includes a particle core, and a basic functional group attached to a surface of the particle core. The second colorant includes a particle core, and an acidic functional group attached to a surface of the particle core. The acidic functional group and the basic functional group are configured to interact within the non-polar carrier fluid to generate a charge on the first colorant and an opposite charge on the second colorant.

A process for producing positively charged polymer encapsulated particles which have a size of less than 5 μm and which include a positively charged polymer shell surrounding a core of particle. The process includes the steps of, firstly, dispersing the core particles in an aqueous solution; adding a mixture of monomers either before or after the dispersion step; then, polymerizing the monomers in view of obtaining polymer encapsulated particles, wherein the polymer shell of the particle includes polymers or co-polymers that have a functional group FG. Finally, the process includes the step of dispersing the encapsulated particles with surfactants and charge directors in view of obtaining positively charged encapsulated particle dispersions.
