Abstract: Herein is described a light-emitting electrochemical cell comprising: a first electrode and a second electrode; a light-emitting layer disposed between the first and second electrodes and comprising a printed electrostatic ink comprising a thermoplastic resin having dispersed therein an electroluminescent material. Also described herein is a method of making an electrostatic ink, the method comprising: providing a carrier fluid (i) in which is dispersed a molten or a dissolved thermoplastic polymer resin and (ii) containing particles of an electroluminescent material suspended therein; effecting precipitation of the polymer resin from the carrier fluid onto the electroluminescent material to form particles comprising the electroluminescent material with a coating comprising the thermoplastic resin in solid form thereon. Also described herein is an electrostatic ink comprising: chargeable particles comprising an electroluminescent material having a coating of a thermoplastic resin thereon.

Abstract: Described herein is a liquid electrostatic ink composition comprising a liquid carrier; and chargeable toner particles comprising a resin and an aluminium-based color-shifting pigment. Also described herein is a method of printing comprising: printing onto a substrate a liquid electrostatic ink composition comprising: a liquid carrier; and chargeable toner particles comprising a resin and an aluminium-based color-shifting pigment, and a printed article comprising a print substrate having printed thereon the electrostatic ink composition.

Abstract: A liquid electrophotographic ink composition is described. The liquid electrophotographic ink composition comprises a ceramic pigment, a polymer resin, a glass frit, and a liquid carrier. Also described is a heat transferable printed image, a process for printing a heat transferable image and a process for heat transfer printing using the liquid electrophotographic ink composition.

Abstract: A liquid electrostatic ink composition is described comprising carbon nanotubes; a resin; and a dispersant comprising at least one polysiloxane in an amount from about 0.01 wt. % to about 30 wt. % based on the combined weight of carbon nanotubes and resin. In some examples, the polysiloxane is a trisiloxane and has at least one polyether group. Also described is an environmental sensor comprising a printed conductive trace formed by printing an electrophotographic ink composition comprising carbon nanotubes, a resin and a dispersant. The dispersant may be an organic hydrocarbon based dispersant, such as a basic amine dispersant, or a polysiloxane dispersant.

Abstract: In an example, a method includes identifying a contact area of a substrate within which an apparatus will make contact with the substrate and defining a boundary area of the substrate between the contact area and a remaining area of the substrate. Print agent may be printed on the substrate, wherein the print agent is printed at a first coverage in the remaining area, a second coverage less than the first coverage in the contact area; and a gradually reducing coverage across the boundary area from the first to the second coverage.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an electrophotographic active ink composition comprising a thermoplastic polymer comprising a copolymer of an olefin and acrylic acid and/or metacrylic acid; active photovoltaic material comprising electron donor material and electron acceptor material; a charge adjuvant, and a liquid carrier.
