  • Patent number: 12617963
    Abstract: Inkjet ink for forming an image on a substrate includes a pigment P, a first block copolymer dispersant D1 for dispersing the pigment P and a second block copolymer dispersant D2 for dispersing the pigment P, and an aqueous carrier. The first block copolymer dispersant D1 is different from the second block copolymer dispersant D2. Each block copolymer dispersant D1, D2 includes an anchoring segment A1, A2 for anchoring to the pigment P. Each of the block copolymer dispersants D1, D2 additionally includes a matrix stabilization segment M for aqueous phase stabilization of the pigment P. The anchoring segment A1 of the first block copolymer dispersant D1 includes a repeating unit R1 and the anchoring segment A2 of the second block copolymer dispersant D2 includes a repeating unit R2, where the repeating unit R1 is less hydrophobic than the repeating unit R2.

  • Patent number: 12234367
    Abstract: An inkjet printing process and an ink set for forming an image on a substrate by applying a plurality of inkjet inks of the ink set on the substrate. The plurality of inkjet inks include at least a first ink and a second ink, each ink comprising: a pigment and a block copolymer dispersant for dispersing the pigment. The block copolymer dispersant includes a first block and a second block where the second block is formed using at least one monomer M2, which monomer M2 is selected from the group consisting of a methacrylate and an acrylate, and where the monomer M2 is an anchoring monomer for anchoring to the pigment.

  • Publication number: 20230374322
    Abstract: Inkjet ink for forming an image on a substrate includes a pigment P, a block copolymer dispersant D for dispersing the pigment P, and an aqueous carrier. The block copolymer dispersant D includes an anchoring segment A for anchoring to the pigment P, where the block copolymer dispersant additionally comprises a matrix stabilization segment M for aqueous phase stabilization of the pigment. The anchoring segment A includes a repeating unit R1 and a repeating unit R2, different from R1, where the repeating unit R1 is less hydrophobic than the repeating unit R2, the repeating unit R1 includes a (poly)alkylene oxide coupled to a terminal group via a direct bond, a —C—O—C— ether bond or a —C—O—(C?O)—N— urethane bond, and the terminal group is selected from an alkyl group, an aryl group and combinations thereof.
