Inkjet Printable and Self-Curable Disperse Dyes/P(St-BA-MAA) Nanosphere Inks for Both Hydrophilic and Hydrophobic Fabrics.

ABSTRACT: Low-water-soluble disperse dyes possess a broad color gamut and good durability, but they need chemical or physical modification before being used in inks and can only be applied to several kinds of hydrophobic fabrics. In this work, disperse dyes/P(St-BA-MAA) nanospheres (known as DPN) absorbed by sodium nitrilotriacetate (known as NTA@DPN) were prepared and applied into ink formulations, which exhibited high dye fixation, long-term stability and self-curable ability without addition of any binder. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images showed the nanospheres have homogeneous core-shell spherical shape and the average diameter increased by 20.6 nm after coloration. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FTIR), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measu
