The present invention provides microencapsulation for an ink composition that is excellent in
dispersion stability, ejection stability, and color rendering, has excellent image fastness and scratch resistance, is less prone to image penetration, and can obtain a recorded matter with high printing density Color material, ink composition using the color material, its production method, inkjet recording method, recorded matter, and microencapsulated product. On the surface of the core substance represented by the color material particles such as pigments, the
wall material mainly composed of the following substances is covered to perform microencapsulation. The substances in it are: 1) have ionic groups and hydrophobic groups and 2) a
polymer (B) having at least: a first
polymerization from an ionic group having a charge opposite to that carried by the
polymer, a hydrophobic group, and a polymerizable group A repeating
structural unit derived from a surfactant, and from a second polymerizable surfactant having the same or opposite charge to that of the first polymerizable surfactant and / or having a charge similar to that of the
polymer Repeating structural units derived from hydrophilic monomers and / or hydrophobic monomers with the same or opposite charges. The
aqueous medium contains a color material such as a
pigment as a core material and microencapsulates it. As an ink composition, the ink composition is ejected from a
nozzle on a recording medium by an inkjet recording method. object, get the
record object. By constituting the core material with chemicals,
metal powder, ceramics, etc., it becomes possible to perform
surface modification of the core material.
