Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】本発明は、インクジェット記録紙用添加剤に関するものである。詳しくは、インクジェット用プリンターで印刷する際に高濃度発色性を発現させるインクジェット記録紙用添加剤に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】近年、パソコン、インクジェット用プリンターが、一般の家庭にもかなり普及しており、また、高性能なデジタルカメラも多く普及している。それにより写真などの高画質な画像を手軽にプリントすることができるようになってきている。
【0003】また、これらのユーザーからは、インクジェット用プリンターによりインクジェット記録紙に印刷した画像等の発色性のより一層の向上が望まれている。従来、インクジェット記録紙の塗工方法としては顔料コート紙とクリアコート紙に大別される。前者の顔料コート紙は一般に(マット紙、光沢紙)と呼ばれている物で、シリカやアルミナ等の多孔質顔料、バインダー等からなる塗工液を原紙にコーティングしてインク受容層を形成する。それに対してクリアコート紙は一般に普通紙と呼ばれ、顔料は使用せず安価なデンプン等からなる塗工液をサイズプレス処理等したもので、安価であるが、インク受容層が紙自体となるため、印字されたインクの高濃度発色性を発現しにくいという欠点がある。
【0004】発色性向上方法としては特開昭57−173194号(以下、特許文献1)がある。これはセルロースエーテルとN−メチロールアクリルアミドとの反応生成物などの吸水性樹脂と、ポリメタクリル酸メチルなどの高分子結合剤とを、メチルエチルケトンなどの溶剤で溶解したものを紙に塗工したものである。
【0005】さらに特開2002−46345号(以下、特許文献2)ではメタクリル酸メチルの乳化共重合物を有効成分としたもの、或いは、メタクリル酸メチル、(メタ)アクリルアミドの乳化共重合物を有効成分としたものが開示されている。しかしながら特許文献1では発色性が未だ十分ではなく、さらには有機溶剤を使用しているため、作業環境を悪化させるという問題がある。また、特許文献2ではある程度の発色性の向上が見られるものの、未だ十分であるとはいえない。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】本発明は、インクジェット記録紙においてフェザリングを改善し、従来以上に濃度発色性に優れた添加剤の開発を技術的課題とする。
【008】
【課題を解決するための手段】本発明者は、上記課題の解決方法を導くために熟考検討を重ねた結果、特定のポリマーを見出し、本発明の完成を成し遂げた。
【009】すなわち、本発明は単量体成分として、ダイアセトンアクリルアミドを2〜80モル%、(メタ)アクリル酸メチルを20〜98モル%、さらにこれらの単量体と共重合可能なアニオン性あるいはノニオン性単量体を0〜50モル%の割合で含有する乳化重合物であることを特徴としたインクジェット記録紙用添加剤である。
【0010】
【発明の実施の形態】本発明は、単量体成分としてダイアセトンアクリルアミドを2〜80モル%、(メタ)アクリル酸メチルを20〜98モル%、さらにこれらの単量体と共重合可能なアニオン性あるいはノニオン性単量体を0〜50モル%の割合で含有する乳化重合物を有効成分とするインクジェット記録紙用添加剤であり、このインクジェット記録紙用添加剤はインクジェット記録紙に塗工または内添して使用することができる。特に、普通紙に対しての発色性に優れているが、顔料コート紙を除外するわけではなく、顔料コート紙のインク受容層中に本発明の添加剤を混ぜることもできる。
【0011】前述のように、構成単量体として、ダイアセトンアクリルアミドを2〜80モル%、(メタ)アクリル酸メチルを20〜98モル%で含有する乳化重合物が発色性の向上に必要である。ダイアセトンアクリルアマイドが2モル%未満では発色性が向上せず、80モル%より多くなると安定した乳化状態が得られない。さらにこれらの単量体と共重合可能なアニオン性あるいはノニオン性モノマーを50モル%より多く含むと発色性が悪くなる。即ち、本発明は構成単量体としてダイアセトンアクリルアミドを2〜80モル%、(メタ)アクリル酸メチルを20〜98モル%、さらにこれら単量体と共重合可能なアニオン性あるいはノニオン性単量体を0〜50モル%の割合で含有する乳化重合物を有効成分とするインクジェット記録紙用添加剤である。
【0012】本発明に使用することができる乳化重合可能なノニオン性単量体としては(メタ)アクリル酸アルキル(炭素数が2以上)類、アクリルアミド、メタクリルアミド、t−ブチルアクリルアミド、N−メチロールアクリルアミド、N−ビニルピロリドン、スチレン、(メタ)アクリル酸ヒドロキシメチル、(メタ)アクリル酸ヒドロキシエチル、(メタ)アクリル酸ヒドロキシプロピル、(メタ)アクリル酸ヒドロキシブチル等があり、アニオン性単量体としては(メタ)アクリル酸、(メタ)アクリル酸塩類(塩としてはNa、Li、Mg、K、Ca、NH)、2−(メタ)アクリロイロキシエチルコハク酸塩類(塩としてはNa、Li、Mg、K、Ca、NH)、2−(メタ)アクリロイロキシエチルフタル酸塩類(塩としてはNa、Li、Mg、K、Ca、NH)、2−(メタ)アクリロイロキシエチルヘキサヒドロフタル酸塩類(塩としてはNa、Li、Mg、K、Ca、NH)、スチレンスルホン酸塩類(塩としてはNa、Li、Mg、K、Ca、NH)等がある。
【0013】反応を開始させる触媒は、過硫酸アンモニウム、過硫酸カリウム、過硫酸ナトリウム、t−ブチルハイドロパーオキサイドなどのような過酸化物や2,2’−アゾビス(2−アミジノプロパン)塩酸塩、2,2’−アゾビス[2−(2−イミダゾリン−2−イル)プロパン]硫酸塩、2,2’−アゾビス[2−(2−イミダゾリン−2−イル)プロパン]塩酸塩、2,2’−アゾビス[2−(5−メチル−2−イミダゾリン−2−イル)プロパン]塩酸塩、2,2’−アゾビス[2−(3,4,5,6−テトラヒドロピリミジン−2−イル)プロパン]塩酸塩などのようなアゾ系触媒、過酸化水素−鉄イオン(II)、過酸化ベンゾイル−ジメチルアニリンなどのようなレドックス触媒など一般的な触媒が使用できる。また、乳化剤としては特に限定されることはなく安定な乳化状態を保つことができる一般的な界面活性剤を使用することができる。
【0014】反応温度は、使用する触媒により異なるが、10℃〜100℃好ましくは、40℃〜80℃で反応させる。
【0015】乳化重合物の詳細な合成方法は、合成例として後述する。
【0016】紙表面に塗工する詳細な方法に関しては、実施例及び比較例で後述する。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an additive for ink jet recording paper. More specifically, the present invention relates to an additive for an ink jet recording paper that develops high-density coloring when printing with an ink jet printer.
[0002]
2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, personal computers and inkjet printers have become quite popular in ordinary households, and many high-performance digital cameras have also become popular. As a result, high-quality images such as photographs can be easily printed.
[0003] Further, from these users, there is a demand for further improvement of the color developing properties of images and the like printed on ink jet recording paper by an ink jet printer. 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, coating methods for inkjet recording paper are broadly classified into pigment coated paper and clear coated paper. The former pigment-coated paper is generally referred to as (mat paper, glossy paper), and forms an ink receiving layer by coating a base paper with a coating liquid comprising a porous pigment such as silica or alumina, a binder, and the like. . On the other hand, clear coated paper is generally called plain paper, which is obtained by subjecting a coating solution consisting of inexpensive starch or the like to size press processing without using pigments, and is inexpensive, but the ink receiving layer becomes the paper itself. For this reason, there is a drawback that it is difficult to exhibit high-density coloring property of the printed ink.
[0004] As a method for improving the color developing property, there is JP-A-57-173194 (hereinafter referred to as Patent Document 1). This is a product obtained by dissolving a water-absorbing resin such as a reaction product of cellulose ether and N-methylolacrylamide, and a polymer binder such as polymethyl methacrylate with a solvent such as methyl ethyl ketone, and coating the paper. is there.
Further, JP-A-2002-46345 (hereinafter referred to as Patent Document 2) discloses that an emulsion copolymer of methyl methacrylate as an active ingredient or an emulsion copolymer of methyl methacrylate and (meth) acrylamide is effective. The components are disclosed. However, in Patent Literature 1, there is a problem that the working environment is deteriorated because the coloring property is not yet sufficient and an organic solvent is used. Further, in Patent Document 2, although the coloring property is improved to some extent, it cannot be said that it is still sufficient.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to develop an additive which improves feathering in ink jet recording paper and has higher density and color development than ever before.
[0098]
The inventor of the present invention has conducted a thorough study to derive a solution to the above-mentioned problems, and as a result, has found a specific polymer and has accomplished the present invention.
That is, the present invention provides, as monomer components, 2 to 80 mol% of diacetone acrylamide, 20 to 98 mol% of methyl (meth) acrylate, and an anionic copolymerizable with these monomers. Alternatively, it is an additive for an ink jet recording paper, which is an emulsion polymer containing a nonionic monomer at a ratio of 0 to 50 mol%.
[0010]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION According to the present invention, diacetone acrylamide is used as a monomer component in an amount of 2 to 80 mol%, methyl (meth) acrylate is used in an amount of 20 to 98 mol%, and copolymerizable with these monomers. An additive for an ink jet recording paper containing an emulsion polymer containing an anionic or nonionic monomer at a ratio of 0 to 50 mol% as an active ingredient. Alternatively, it can be used internally. In particular, it is excellent in color developability on plain paper, but does not exclude pigment-coated paper, and the additive of the present invention can be mixed in the ink-receiving layer of pigment-coated paper.
As described above, an emulsion polymer containing 2 to 80 mol% of diacetone acrylamide and 20 to 98 mol% of methyl (meth) acrylate as constituent monomers is necessary for improving color development. is there. If the amount of diacetone acryl amide is less than 2 mol%, the coloring properties are not improved, and if it exceeds 80 mol%, a stable emulsified state cannot be obtained. Further, when the content of the anionic or nonionic monomer copolymerizable with these monomers is more than 50 mol%, the coloring property is deteriorated. That is, the present invention provides, as constituent monomers, 2-80 mol% of diacetone acrylamide, 20-98 mol% of methyl (meth) acrylate, and an anionic or nonionic monomer copolymerizable with these monomers. It is an additive for an ink jet recording paper containing as an active ingredient an emulsion polymer containing a polymer in a proportion of 0 to 50 mol%.
The nonionic monomers capable of emulsion polymerization which can be used in the present invention include alkyl (meth) acrylates (having two or more carbon atoms), acrylamide, methacrylamide, t-butylacrylamide, N-methylol There are acrylamide, N-vinylpyrrolidone, styrene, hydroxymethyl (meth) acrylate, hydroxyethyl (meth) acrylate, hydroxypropyl (meth) acrylate, hydroxybutyl (meth) acrylate, and the like. Are (meth) acrylic acid, (meth) acrylates (Na, Li, Mg, K, Ca, NH 4 as salts), 2- (meth) acryloyloxyethyl succinates (Na, Li as salts) , Mg, K, Ca, NH 4 ), 2- (meth) acryloyloxyethyl phthalates (salts) Na, Li, Mg, K, Ca, NH 4 ), 2- (meth) acryloyloxyethyl hexahydrophthalate (as salts, Na, Li, Mg, K, Ca, NH 4 ), styrene sulfone Acid salts (as salts, Na, Li, Mg, K, Ca, NH 4 ) and the like.
The catalyst for initiating the reaction includes peroxides such as ammonium persulfate, potassium persulfate, sodium persulfate, t-butyl hydroperoxide and the like, 2,2'-azobis (2-amidinopropane) hydrochloride, 2,2′-azobis [2- (2-imidazolin-2-yl) propane] sulfate, 2,2′-azobis [2- (2-imidazolin-2-yl) propane] hydrochloride, 2,2 ′ -Azobis [2- (5-methyl-2-imidazolin-2-yl) propane] hydrochloride, 2,2'-azobis [2- (3,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidin-2-yl) propane] General catalysts such as azo catalysts such as hydrochloride and redox catalysts such as hydrogen peroxide-iron ion (II) and benzoyl peroxide-dimethylaniline can be used. The emulsifier is not particularly limited, and a general surfactant that can maintain a stable emulsified state can be used.
The reaction temperature varies depending on the catalyst to be used, but the reaction is carried out at 10 ° C to 100 ° C, preferably at 40 ° C to 80 ° C.
The detailed method for synthesizing the emulsion polymer will be described later as a synthesis example.
The detailed method of coating the paper surface will be described later in Examples and Comparative Examples.
