Method for improving nano pigment dispersibility by using metal catalyst
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of material processing, and particularly relates to a method for improving the dispersibility of a nano pigment by using a metal catalyst.
Background
The nanopigment is a fine-grained technical product of pigment or other functional material crystal grains of about several hundred nanometers, and the conventional method for improving the dispersibility of the nanopigment is to add an acrylic polymer and a polyester dispersant, but the effect of improving the dispersibility of the nanopigment is generally worse than that of a fine-grained particle of 300nm or less. On the other hand, when the dispersibility of the nanopigment is lowered, quality problems such as uneven coating, lowered coloring power, lowered glossiness, lowered reliability, lowered conductivity and insulation are easily caused, and thus there is an urgent need in the market for a method for improving the dispersibility of the fine nanopigment.
The Chinese patent with patent publication No. CN102675514A and publication No. 2012.09.19 discloses a preparation method of an aqueous nano pigment dispersion, which comprises the following steps: mixing 2.5-40 wt% of styrene with a distilled polymerization inhibitor, 2.5-20 wt% of acrylate monomer, 0.25-5 wt% of crosslinking monomer, 0.05-0.5 wt% of co-emulsifier and 0.05-0.5 wt% of oil-soluble initiator, adding 0.25-2.5 wt% of organic pigment to be dispersed, and completely dissolving to form an oil phase solution; dissolving 0.05-2 wt% of emulsifier and 0.05-2 wt% of buffering agent in 40-90 wt% of deionized water to form water phase solution; mixing and stirring the oil phase solution and the water phase solution, and homogenizing by ultrasonic to obtain a miniemulsion; and (2) moving the miniemulsion into a reactor, introducing nitrogen, heating to raise the temperature, initiating polymerization, adding an alkali-soluble monomer with the weight percentage of 0.5-5% after the reaction is carried out for 10-40 min, continuously reacting for 1-5 h, cooling to room temperature, adjusting the pH value to 8-10 by using ammonia water, filtering and discharging to obtain the aqueous nano pigment dispersion.
However, the method for preparing the dispersion liquid disclosed in the patent of the invention has a problem that the dispersion liquid mainly contains styrene and an acrylate monomer, and the dispersion liquid has a poor effect of dispersing smaller nano pigment particles, and is not suitable for dispersing fine particles having a particle size of 300nm or less.

In step S4, the temperature of the heating and heat preservation treatment process is 30-80 ℃ and the time is 18-240 h.
