Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0048] The present invention provides a nano-aqueous pigment inkjet ink, which includes the following formulation components:
[0049] Nanoparticles: These surface-treated nanoparticles have a size distribution range between 10 and 100 nanometers, with a spherical or elliptical shape, and account for 10-20% in the formulation. These nanoparticles can provide the fine particles required by the ink, helping to achieve excellent printing effects. Due to their extremely small size and special shape, the nanoparticles can improve the color vividness of the ink and the fineness of the printed pattern.
[0050] Amine compounds: These compounds are used to enhance the adhesion and anti-fading properties of the ink, accounting for 5-10% in the formulation.

[0055] In the above formulation, the functions of each component cooperate with each other and jointly act on the performance of the ink, thus bringing multiple beneficial effects such as bright colors, fine patterns, stable ink, flexible formulation, and environmental protection and safety.
[0056] The amine compound is specifically a carbamate compound; the dispersant is specifically a polymer dispersant.
[0057] Carbamate Compounds: These compounds are a common type of organic compounds. Their role in the ink is to enhance the adhesion and anti - fading properties of the ink. These compounds can form chemical bonds with the surface of the printing material, thereby improving the adhesion of the ink, making the pattern more durable, and increasing the anti - fading ability of the ink to ensure that the printed product remains brightly colored for a long time. The content of carbamate compounds in the ink is 5 - 10%.
[0058] Polymer Dispersants: These dispersants are a type of compounds that can improve the dispersibility and stability of nanoparticles in the ink. They prevent the aggregation and precipitation of particles by interacting with the surface of the nanoparticles, thereby maintaining the stability of the ink and ensuring the consistency of printing quality. The content of polymer dispersants in the ink is 2 - 8%.
[0059] The application of these specific compounds in the ink formulation further strengthens the performance of the ink, making the ink have better adhesion, anti - fading properties and stability. This helps to ensure the continuous stability of the printed product quality and makes the ink more suitable for various printing needs.

This helps to ensure the continuous stability of the printed product quality and makes the ink more suitable for various printing needs.
[0064] The specific steps for surface treatment of nanoparticles are as follows:
[0065] Prepare nanoparticles: First, it is necessary to synthesize and confirm the size and shape of the obtained nanoparticles. This can be achieved through different chemical synthesis methods to ensure that the obtained nanoparticles meet the expected requirements.
[0066] Select a surface modifier: According to the characteristics of the nanoparticles and the requirements of the desired application, select a suitable surface modifier to ensure the dispersibility and stability in the ink. The selection of the surface modifier has a crucial impact on the subsequent performance of the nanoparticles.
[0067] Mix nanoparticles and modifier: Suspend the nanoparticles in a solvent, then gradually add the selected surface modifier and mix well using a blender to ensure that the modifier covers the surface of the nanoparticles. This step is to ensure that the surface modifier can fully cover the surface of the nanoparticles and achieve a good coating effect.
[0068] Reaction and modification: Maintain the reaction under appropriate conditions to ensure that the modifier is fully combined with the nanoparticles to form a stable surface coating. This step is to ensure that the surface modifier can chemically react or physically adsorb with the surface of the nanoparticles, thereby stabilizing the surface properties of the nanoparticles.
[0069] Separation and washing: Separate and wash the treated nanoparticles to remove the excess surface modifier and solvent to ensure the purity and stability of the nanoparticles. This step is to remove the excess substances, ensure the purity and stability of the nanoparticles, and avoid adverse effects on the ink performance.
[0070] Drying: Finally, through vacuum drying, the nanoparticles are dried to the desired state for subsequent use. This step is to prepare the nanoparticles into dry powder or other forms for subsequent processing and application.
[0071] These steps ensure the dispersibility, stability and performance of the nanoparticles in the ink, thus improving the quality and performance of the ink.
[0072] The surface modifier is specifically a silane coupling agent; the solvents include but are not limited to toluene, xylene and water.
[0073] Silane coupling agents are a type of commonly used surface modifiers, which play a role in coating and modifying the surface of nanoparticles. Using silane coupling agents can effectively improve the dispersibility and stability of nanoparticles, while enhancing their compatibility and dispersion performance in the ink. This helps to ensure the uniform dispersion and stability of nanoparticles in the ink, thus improving the printing performance and quality of the ink.
[0074] Toluene and xylene are usually used as organic solvents and play an important role in the preparation and processing of nanoparticles. They can be used to suspend nanoparticles and surface modifiers, promoting their mixing and reaction. Water can be used as a dispersion medium for nanoparticles and also plays an important role in the preparation and processing of nanoparticles.
[0075] The application of these specific surface modifiers and solvents helps to ensure the performance and stability of nanoparticles and improve the quality and performance of the ink.
[0076] The mixing time is 12 - 20 hours, the stirring speed may need to be between 200 and 400 revolutions per minute, and the mixing temperature is 30 - 40 degrees.
[0077] Mixing time: Within the range of 12 - 20 hours, sufficient time is required to ensure the full mixing and reaction of nanoparticles and surface modifiers.
[0078] Stirring speed: Between 200 and 400 revolutions per minute to ensure uniform mixing and promote the full contact and reaction of nanoparticles and surface modifiers.
[0079] Mixing temperature: Between 30 - 40 degrees Celsius. An appropriate temperature helps to promote the mixing reaction, but at the same time, attention needs to be paid not to exceed the stable temperature range of nanoparticles or surface modifiers.
[0080] These specific mixing conditions are to ensure that nanoparticles and surface modifiers can be fully mixed and reacted to achieve the effect of surface modification, thereby improving the dispersibility and stability of nanoparticles in the ink.
[0081] A preparation method of a nano-aqueous pigment inkjet ink, comprising the following steps:
[0082] Surface treatment of nanoparticles:
[0083] Synthesize and confirm the size and shape of the nanoparticles to ensure they meet the requirements.
[0084] Select a silane coupling agent as the surface modifier to ensure the dispersion and stability of the nanoparticles in the ink.
[0085] Suspend the nanoparticles in a solvent, gradually add the selected surface modifier, and mix thoroughly.
[0086] Ensure that the modifier covers the surface of the nanoparticles, and then maintain the reaction conditions to allow the modifier to fully bind to the nanoparticles.
[0087] Separate, wash, and dry the treated nanoparticles to ensure the purity and stability of the nanoparticles.
[0088] Ink preparation:
[0089] Add the surface-treated nanoparticles, amine compounds, dispersants, ionic liquids, and fluorescent brighteners to the ink matrix.
[0090] Use a blender to mix the components thoroughly to ensure uniform dispersion.
[0091] Adjust the pH value and viscosity to ensure the printing performance and stability of the ink.
[0092] Testing and adjustment:
[0093] Test the prepared ink for printing performance, color stability, and durability.
[0094] Adjust the ink formulation according to the test results until a final product that meets the requirements is obtained.
[0095] The ink matrix is a polymer emulsion.
[0096] During the ink preparation process, add the surface-treated nanoparticles, amine compounds, dispersants, ionic liquids, and fluorescent brighteners to the polymer emulsion. Such an ink matrix usually has good dispersion and stability and is suitable for inkjet printing.
[0097] Using a polymer emulsion as the ink matrix can provide the following advantages:
[0098] The polymer emulsion has good dispersion, which helps the uniform dispersion of nanoparticles and other additives in the ink.
[0099] Polymer emulsions can provide good viscosity and rheological properties, which contribute to the stable ejection of ink in the print head.
[0100] Polymer emulsions can also provide a certain degree of adhesion and durability, which helps the ink to quickly cure and adhere to the printing medium after printing.
[0101] The viscosity of the ink is in the range of 10 - 20 mPa·s.
[0102] This viscosity range is generally suitable for inkjet printing applications because it can ensure the stable ejection of ink in the print head and form clear patterns on the printing medium.
[0103] When preparing the ink, the viscosity of the ink can usually be adjusted to the desired range in the following ways:
[0104] Adjust the type and content of the solvent: Selecting the appropriate solvent type and content can affect the viscosity of the ink. An increase in the content of organic solvents usually reduces the viscosity of the ink.
[0105] Use a diluent: Adding an appropriate amount of diluent can reduce the viscosity of the ink.
[0106] Adjust the solid content: Adjusting the content of the solid components in the ink can affect the viscosity of the ink.
[0107] Through the above methods, the viscosity of the ink can be adjusted to ensure that it is within the desired range of 10 - 20 mPa·s. This can ensure the flow performance and printing performance of the ink in the print head and help obtain clear printing effects.
[0108] The shape of the nanoparticles is spherical, and their size distribution ranges from 20 to 80 nanometers.
[0109] Example 1:
[0110] Prepare the nanoparticles: Obtain surface-treated nanoparticles through chemical synthesis methods. The shape is spherical, and the size distribution ranges from 20 to 80 nanometers.
[0111] Select carbamate compounds as amine compounds, polymer dispersants as dispersants, sulfonic acid-based ionic liquids as ionic liquids, and styryl fluorescent brighteners as fluorescent brighteners.
[0112] Surface-treat the nanoparticles: Suspend the nanoparticles in toluene, gradually add a silane coupling agent, and use a stirrer to mix well to ensure that the modifier covers the surface of the nanoparticles.
[0113] Separation and washing: The processed nanoparticles are separated and washed to remove excess surface modifiers and solvents, ensuring the purity and stability of the nanoparticles.

[0116] Testing and adjustment: The prepared ink is tested for printing performance, color stability, and durability, and the ink formulation is adjusted according to the test results.
[0117] In this example, spherical nanoparticles are used, specific compounds and dispersants are employed, and surface treatment is carried out using a silane coupling agent, ultimately obtaining a nano-aqueous pigment inkjet ink with specific properties.
[0118] Example Two:

[0122] Ink preparation: The surface-treated nanoparticles, other types of amine compounds, dispersants, ionic liquids, and fluorescent brighteners are added to the non-polymer emulsion ink matrix.

[0124] In this example, elliptical nanoparticles are used, different types of compounds and dispersants are employed for surface treatment, and different types of ink matrices are used, possibly obtaining nano-aqueous pigment inkjet inks with different characteristics.
[0125] Example Three:
[0126] Prepare nanoparticles: Surface-treated nanoparticles are prepared by the sol-gel method, with a polyhedral shape and a size distribution range between 15 and 75 nanometers.
[0127] Select other types of amine compounds, dispersants, ionic liquids, and fluorescent brighteners.
[0128] Surface-treated nanoparticles: The surfaces of the nanoparticles are treated with other types of surface modifiers.
[0129] Ink preparation: The surface-treated nanoparticles, other types of amine compounds, dispersants, ionic liquids, and fluorescent brighteners are added to an aqueous ink matrix.
[0130] Other steps are the same as in Example 1.
[0131] In this example, polyhedral-shaped nanoparticles are used, other types of compounds and dispersants are used for surface treatment, and different types of ink matrices are used, which may result in nano-aqueous pigment inkjet inks with different properties.
