Method of preparing polymer modified pigments

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of preparing a polymer modified pigment comprising the steps of, combining, in any order, a modified pigment comprising a pigment having attached at least one reactive group, a polymer comprising at least one functional group, and a non-reactive diluent, to form a reaction mixture, reacting the polymer and the modified pigment in the reaction mixture to form a mixture comprising the polymer modified pigment and the non-reactive diluent; and removing the non-reactive diluent from the mixture to form the polymer modified pigment. Also disclosed are the resulting polymer modified pigments and inkjet ink compositions comprising them.

Process for the production of fumed silica

Abstract: The invention provides a process for the production of fumed silica. The process comprises providing a silicon halide feedstock comprising about 80% to 100% methyltrichlorosilane, combining the silicon halide feedstock with hydrogen gas and oxygen gas to form a reactant mixture, discharging the reactant mixture out of a burner, and combusting the hydrogen gas and the oxygen gas of the reactant mixture so as to hydrolyze the silicon halide feedstock to produce fumed silica. Hydrogen (H2) is present in a mole fraction of about 0.11 or less based on the reactant mixture, and/or the velocity of the reactant mixture upon exiting the burner is about 25 m/s or more.
