摘要:
The present invention is drawn to surface-crosslinked latex particulates, corresponding latex suspensions, ink-jet inks, and methods for making the latex particulates. A latex suspension can include a fluid medium and surface-crosslinked latex particulates. The surface-crosslinked latex particulates can be devoid of substantially all crosslinking below the particulate surface. Such surface-crosslinked latex particulates can be prepared with a plurality of monomers and at least one crosslinking agent.

The present disclosure is drawn to methods and compositions directed at durable ink-jet inks. As such, an ink-jet ink can have a liquid vehicle, a colorant dispersed or dissolved in the liquid vehicle, a high Tg polymer having a Tg of at least 45.degree. C. dispersed in the liquid vehicle, and a near-infrared absorbing dye in the liquid vehicle. The ink can be formulated such that when printed on a substrate and irradiated with a near-infrared energy source, the near-infrared absorbing dye generates enough heat to uniformly melt the high Tg polymer, thereby enhancing the durability of ink-jet ink printed on the substrate.

The present disclosure includes compositions, methods, and systems having an ink-jet ink including a liquid vehicle, a colorant dispersed or dissolved in the liquid vehicle, inter-crosslinkable latex particles dispersed in the liquid vehicle, and an inter-particle crosslinker. The inter-crosslinkable latex particles can have at least one hydrophobic monomer; at least one acidic monomer; at least one inter-crosslinkable monomer including at least one keto group; the inter-crosslinkable monomer having the structure described in Formula 1. Additionally, the inter-crosslinkable latex particles can be intra-crosslinked forming an inter-particle crosslinked latex polymer film after printing and upon at least partial depletion of the liquid vehicle or liquid vehicle component.
