  • Patent number: 7967906
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for directly producing fine-particle 1,4-diketopyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrols of formula (1), wherein R1a, R1b, R2a and R2b independently represent hydrogen, halogen, C1-C4 alkyl, C1-C4 alkoxy, cyano or phenyl, said compounds being characterized by a maximum frequency distribution between 20 and 120 nm. According to the method, nitriles are reacted with succinic acid esters or lactames or enamines in an alkali medium to form a pigment salt, and then protolysis of the pigment alkali salt is carried out. Said method is characterized in that an effective quantity of a pigment dispersant of formula (II) is added during the protolysis of the pigment alkali salt. In formula (II), Q is a radical of an organic pigment from the group of perinone, quinacridone, quinacridonquinone, anthanthrone, indanthrone, dioxazine, diketopyrrolopyrrol, indigo, thioindigo, thiazineindigo, isoindoline, isoindolinone, pyranthrone, isoviolanthrone, flavanthrone or anthrapyrimidine pigments.

  • Publication number: 20100317870
    Abstract: The invention generally relates to novel polymers (SMAMPs) and their syntheses and use. The polymers exhibit promising properties of AMPs. In particularly, for example, a ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) platform was developed that allows syntheses of SMAMPs that employ a minimum number of norbornene-based building blocks and/or enable easy and independent variation of hydrophobic and hydrophilic groups in the monomer units and/or along the polymeric backbone to finetune and select desirable properties of the polymers.

  • Patent number: 7837784
    Abstract: The present invention relates to C. I. Pigment Red 254 for coloring, which can color an object to be colored so as to have a higher chroma than that with conventional technology and a production method for easily producing it. For the purpose, the inventors provide the production method for the pigment, wherein the intersection of mass tone ?H* and ?C* of a color coating film in an acrylic-melamine coating test is, on X-Y coordinate plane to which the ?H* is defined as the X-axis and the ?C* is defined as the Y-axis, within the surrounded region determined by specific three equations; and a production method for the pigment provides the production method of the pigment, including a process of heating crude pigment at 100-130° C. for 2-10 hours in an aprotic polar organic solvent which is strongly alkaline.
