摘要:
A printing system for applying a printing fluid to a substrate, comprising a printing fluid applicator and a recirculating printing fluid supply supplying printing fluid to the applicator, wherein the printing fluid comprises water, colorant, acrylic latex polymer, and a water dispersible polyurethane additive having an acid number greater than 50. The acrylic latex polymer provides increased optical density for printed images, and the water dispersible polyurethane additive enables the latex-containing printing fluid to be recirculated for extended periods without significant fluid destabilization or pressure build up or filter clogging. Also disclosed is method of continuous inkjet printing employing such a printing system.
摘要:
An inkjet printing fluid composition comprising water, colorant, acrylic latex polymer, and a water dispersible polyurethane additive having an acid number greater than 50, preferably between 50 and 150, more preferably from 60 to 100, and most preferably from 60 to 90. The invention provides inkjet printing fluid compositions, such as pigment-based inkjet printing inks, which contain an acrylic latex polymer which provides increased optical density for printed images, and a water dispersible polyurethane additive that enables the latex-containing printing fluid to be recirculated for extended periods in a recirculating printing fluid printing system without significant fluid destabilization or pressure build up or filter clogging. The invention further provides a method for printing an inkjet image comprising: I) providing an inkjet printing fluid according to the invention; and II) jetting the inkjet printing fluid in the form of ink drops onto a recording element to form a printed image.

摘要:
Various patterning methods utilize certain crosslinkable reactive polymers comprise -A- and -B- recurring units, arranged randomly along a backbone. The -A- recurring units comprise pendant aromatic sulfonic acid oxime ester groups that are capable of providing pendant aromatic sulfonic acid groups upon irradiation with radiation having a λmax of at least 150 nm and up to and including 450 nm. The -A- recurring units are present in the reactive polymer in an amount of up to and including 98 mol % based on total reactive polymer recurring units. The -B- recurring units comprise pendant groups that provide crosslinking upon generation of the aromatic sulfonic acid groups in the -A- recurring units. The -B- recurring units are present in an amount of at least 2 mol %, based on total reactive polymer recurring units.
摘要:
A precursor article has a substrate and a polymeric layer having a reactive composition that contains a non-crosslinked thiosulfate copolymer comprising: (a) recurring units comprising pendant thiosulfate groups, and (b) recurring units comprising pendant carboxy, carboxylate, phospho, phosphonate, phosphate, sulfo, sulfonate, or sulfite groups. The (a) recurring units are present in an amount of 1 to 30 mol %, and the (b) recurring units are present in an amount of 70 to 99 mol %. This precursor article can be used to provide a product article comprising a substrate in which the polymeric layer has both exposed regions and non-exposed regions. The exposed regions contain a pattern of electrolessly plated metal within or deposited on the surface of an at least partially crosslinked polymer that has been derived from the non-crosslinked thiosulfate copolymer. The non-exposed regions have none of the electrolessly plated metal or the non-crosslinked thiosulfate polymer.
摘要:
An electrically-conductive pattern is prepared using a reactive composition having: (1) a reactive polymer; (2) a compound that provides a cleaving acid upon exposure to radiation; and (3) a crosslinking agent that reacts in the presence of the cleaving acid, to provide crosslinking in the reactive polymer. A polymeric layer of the reactive composition is patternwise exposed to provide a polymeric layer comprising non-exposed regions and exposed regions comprising a polymer comprising sulfonic acid or sulfonate groups. The exposed regions are contacted with electroless seed metal ions to form a pattern of electroless seed metal ions, which pattern is reduced to provide a pattern of corresponding electroless seed metal particles. Electrolessly plating is then carried out in the exposed regions. The unique reactive comprises (a) recurring units represented Structure (A) as described in the disclosure, and can also include other recurring units that are crosslinkable or provide other properties.
