Abstract:
An inkjet recording method includes: applying an active ray curable inkjet ink onto a coating layer disposed on a substrate by an inkjet method to form an ink layer, and subsequently irradiating the ink layer with an active ray to cure the ink layer, wherein the substrate has an outermost layer formed by at least one selected from polyethylene terephthalate, nylon, and aluminum, the coating layer is disposed on the outermost layer of the substrate and satisfies a condition that a chlorine/carbon ratio (Cl/C) by surface element analysis using electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA) is 0.025≤(Cl/C)≤0.43, and the active ray curable inkjet ink contains at least a photopolymerizable compound, a photopolymerization initiator, a pigment, and a gelling agent.
Abstract:
A formation process of a glossy surface, without unevenness of gloss in a image on a print surface, nor toner offset or release failure over a long time period, is provided, where a surface of a belt member is composed of a resin containing structural units derived from a specific urethane (meth)acrylate (A), a specific polyfunctional monomer (B), and a fluorine-modified acrylate (C) and has the contact angle with respect to water of 85 to 110°, and the melting energy ΔH of a wax in a clear toner is 2 to 20 J/g.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a manufacturing method of an organic-inorganic composite material including a flocculation and fusion step to flocculate and fuse composite particles in a liquid medium, the composite particles being formed by inorganic fine particles being coated by coating layers.
Abstract:
An intermediate transfer member includes a substrate and a surface layer. The surface layer may be formed by exposure of UV of a coating film containing a curable composition and a metal oxide fine particle. The curable composition includes a polyorganosiloxane multifunctional vinyl copolymer and multifunctional (meth)acrylate. The multifunctional vinyl copolymer has a weight-average molecular weight of 5,000 to 100,000. The metal oxide fine particles include a polyorganosiloxane surface layer. The intermediate transfer member enables suppression of filming and is insusceptible to abrasion and scratches even in long-term use, has small surface energy, and is favorable for use in an electrophotographic image forming apparatus.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a glossing device with a cooling and separating belt which has a high wear resistance and is allowed to maintain the initial surface property over a long period of time.In the glossing device, the cooling and separating belt has a front surface formed of a cured resin containing a structural unit derived from urethane(meth)acrylate (A) having three or more(meth)acryloyloxy groups per molecule, a structural unit derived from a polyfunctional monomer (B) having three or more(meth)acryloyloxy groups per molecule and no urethane bond, and a structural unit derived from fluorine-modified acrylate (C). The cured resin contains 18 to 63% by mass of the structural unit derived from the urethane(meth)acrylate (A), 18 to 63% by mass of the structural unit derived from the polyfunctional monomer (B), and 10 to 40% by mass of the structural unit derived from the fluorine-modified acrylate (C).
