  • Method of manufacture of a polymeric film with anti-blocking properties
    Patent number: 7597956
    Abstract: A method of fabricating a polymeric film includes adsorbing an ammonium salt surfactant over a plurality of polymer beads. The method also includes adding the polymer beads to a polymer solution, wherein the ammonium salt surfactant substantially prevents flocculation of the polymer beads. Additionally, a polymeric film includes a plurality of polymer beads each having an outer surface. The polymeric film also includes an ammonium salt surfactant disposed over each of the outer surfaces, wherein the ammonium salt surfactant substantially prevents flocculation of the polymer beads.

  • Ink jet printing method
    Patent number: 6347866
    Abstract: An ink jet printing method having the steps of: a) providing an ink jet printer that is responsive to digital data signals; b) loading the printer with an ink jet recording element of a substrate having thereon an image-receiving layer of an inorganic, anionic pigment, an organic, anionic binder, an organic, cationic mordant and thermoplastic polymer particles; c) loading the printer with an ink jet ink composition; and d) printing on the recording element using the ink jet ink in response to the digital data signals.

  • Method of preparing a stable coating
    Patent number: 6335395
    Abstract: A process for making a stable coating comprising an inorganic, anionic pigment, an organic, anionic binder and an organic, cationic mordant comprising: a) mixing the inorganic, anionic pigment with the organic, cationic mordant; b) lowering the pH of the mixture to below about 4; and c) adding the organic, anionic binder to the mixture, thus providing a coating composition which has an approximately constant viscosity over a period of time.
