Problems solved by technology

But it also has disadvantages: it cannot change images instantly like an electronic display, so it cannot be reused
The urea-formaldehyde resin microcapsule wall material has high mechanical strength, but poor flexibility. Therefore, the flexible electrophoresis made of this material shows poor scratch resistance and pressure resistance.
Nakamura etc. have described the preparation method that the microcapsule of a kind of gelatin-gum arabic system is used for electrophoretic display, and this microcapsule solvent stability is very good, but because gelatin and acacia are all natural products, stability is relatively poor, and Gum Arabic is an imported product for China, and large-scale commercial use will be an expensive raw material; in addition, gum Arabic is easy to degrade, and long-term use will affect the performance of microcapsules

Abstract

The invention discloses an electrophoresis-displaying microcapsule and its preparing method, which recondenses hydrolysate of styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer and glutin to prepare the microcapsule. By the proper technique, it firstly emulsifies the encapsulated matter in the styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer solution, adds in the gultin, and then recondenses them by adding acid and/or water. Its advantages: provision of synthetic high-molecular styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer overcomes the disadvantage that the natural gum Arabic high molecule is easy to degrade so as to affect performance of the microcapsule, and reduces the cost. And by proper technique, it can prepare circular microcapsules which are stable, sealed and have more uniform particle size distribution.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a preparation method of microcapsules for electrophoretic display. technical background [0002] The rapid development of information science and technology calls for a new flat-panel electronic display technology that is thin, light, low driving voltage, and low power consumption. Compared with electronic display technology, traditional ordinary paper has superior performance: reflect 80% of the irradiated light; provide satisfactory contrast ratio (about 20:1); disperse reflected light in any direction; cheap, light weight, thin, convenient It is portable, flexible and foldable, and can provide color images; it can save images for a long time without consuming energy, and has long-lasting memory. But it also has disadvantages: it cannot change images instantly like an electronic display, so it cannot be used repeatedly. Therefore, combining the advantages of ordinary paper and electronic displays t...
