Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of ink preparation technology, and in particular to an LED-UV anti-counterfeiting ink formulation with a content of sub-dots and its in-situ modification preparation process. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional anti-counterfeiting inks mostly rely on single optical color-changing, thermochromic, or chemical reagent color-developing principles. Their anti-counterfeiting features are easily counterfeited, and their durability is often insufficient. Quantum dots, due to their unique and precisely tunable fluorescence properties, are considered an ideal choice for next-generation anti-counterfeiting materials. However, applying quantum dots to ink systems faces several challenges: First, quantum dots have high surface energy, making them prone to aggregation in organic resins, leading to fluorescence quenching and uneven distribution; second, the interfacial bonding between quantum dots and the ink matrix is ​​weak, making them prone to migration and detachment during curing or use, affecting the durability of the anti-counterfeiting effect. Furthermore, traditional UV-cured inks use mercury lamps, which suffer from high energy consumption, significant thermal effects, and potential damage to the fluorescence properties of quantum dots. In addition, existing technologies mostly employ physical blending methods to add quantum dots, failing to fundamentally address the issues of compatibility and stability. Therefore, developing an environmentally friendly ink system that achieves stable dispersion and efficient curing of quantum dots, while possessing multiple anti-counterfeiting properties, has become a pressing technical challenge in this field. Summary of the Invention
