Patent number: 7629394Abstract: The present invention describes a process of preparing microcapsules in a UV curable water immiscible phase. The microcapsules formed according to the invention contain an aqueous phase core. The process comprises dispersing a water soluble or dispersible core material along with at least one wall forming prepolymer and a polycondensation polymerization catalyst into an aqueous solution. The aqueous phase is then dispersed into the water immiscible phase comprising UV curable monomers or oligomers forming droplets of the aqueous phase solution in the water immiscible phase. Polycondensation of the prepolymers is initiated to form polymeric wall material or microcapsules at or near the interface of the water immiscible solvent and droplets of aqueous phase solution. Following capsule formation, a UV initiator is dispersed in the water immiscible phase. The UV curable dispersion containing aqueous microcapsules can be coated on a substrate.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2006Date of Patent: December 8, 2009Assignee: Appleton Papers Inc.Inventor: Nianxi Yan

Patent number: 7459014Abstract: An ink preferably used in piezoelectric ink jet devices includes an ink vehicle that includes at least one curable monomer, at least one polymerizable organic gelator, at least one initiator, at least one colorant and optionally at least one low molecular mass non-reactive organic gelator and/or at least one thermal solvent. The use of the curable gelator enables the ink to form a gel state having a viscosity of at least 102.5 cps at very low temperatures of about 30° C. to about 50° C. The ink may thus be jetted at low temperatures of about 50° C. to about 90° C. The ink is heated to a first temperature above the gel point of the ink, jetted onto a surface maintained at a second temperature at which the ink forms a gel state, and when on the image receiving substrate, is exposed to radiation energy to polymerize the polymerizable components of the ink.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2005Date of Patent: December 2, 2008Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Marcel P. Breton, Peter G. Odell, Christine E. Bedford, Jennifer L. Belelie, Jeffrey H. Banning
