Abstract

Inorganic nanophosphors for use in an inkjet ink have been prepared using colloidally synthesized ZnS:Mn treated with acrylic acid which was polymerized in situ. Cubic crystalline ZnS:Mn particles were observed using XRD and SEM. Surfactant, solvent, humectant, and binder polymer were added to assist in assembly into a continuous film, with poly(vinyl alcohol) functioning best as both a viscosity modifier and resin binder. Pigment concentration was optimized at 1 w/w% to achieve jettability and good rheology. This ink was deposited using a piezoelectric Dimatix® inkjet printer to form printed lines of ZnS:Mn-AA and PVA. Photoluminescence (PL) of printed lines on cellulose acetate was qualitatively characterized.
