Inkjet inks comprising multi-layer pigments

Abstract: The present invention relates to multi-layer pigments comprising a core pigment having attached two or more layers of polymer as well as to methods of preparing the multi-layer pigment. Also disclosed are inkjet ink compositions comprising these multi-layer pigments.

Conductive carbons for lithium ion batteries

Abstract: Disclosed herein are cathode formulations comprising a lithium ion-based electroactive material, and a carbon black, in which the carbon black is selected from one of: (i) a carbon black having an OAN ranging from 100 to 250 mL/100 g and a crystallite size (La) of at least 30 A, as determined by Raman spectroscopy; (ii) a carbon black having an OAN ranging from 100 to 300 mL/100 g and a surface energy of less than or equal to 10 mJ/m2; and (iii) a carbon black having an OAN ranging from 100 to 300 mL/100 g and a crystallite size (La) of at least 35 A, as determined by Raman spectroscopy. Also disclosed are cathodes comprising the cathode formulations, electrochemical cells comprising the cathodes, and methods of making the cathode formulations and cathodes.

High capacitance tantalum flakes and methods of producing the same

Abstract: Methods of maximizing a tantalum capacitor's capacitance are disclosed, as well as tantalum flake powder and anodes. A two step milling process can be used to mill tantalum particles into tantalum flake powder having flakes of the desired thickness. This flake powder can then be pressed and sintered thereby forming an anode. Other flake capacitance methods and products are also described.

Solderable pads utilizing nickel and silver nanoparticle ink jet inks

Abstract: A system and a method are provided for ink-jet printing a solderable conductive pad onto a substrate. The system comprises at least one print head and a curing station for curing an ink deposited onto the substrate. The system is configured to: deposit at least a first layer of a first ink onto the substrate; cure the first layer of the first ink; deposit at least an intermediate layer of a second ink on top of the cured first layer of the first ink; cure the intermediate layer of the second ink; deposit at least a last layer of the first ink on top of the cured intermediate layer of the second ink; and cure the last layer of the first ink. The first ink has a relatively high conductivity. The second ink has a relatively low conductivity. The first layer, the intermediate layer, and the last layer may be arranged such that when solder is applied to the last layer, the solder is prevented from leaching through to the first layer.

Method of preparing a pigment composition

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of preparing a pigment composition comprising the steps of combining at least one polyamine, at least one pigment, and at least one polymer having at least one carboxylic acid group or salt thereof. Various embodiments of this method are disclosed. The present invention further relates to a pigment composition and uses thereof, such as inkjet ink compositions.
