The paper aims to design nanoporous coatings for inkjet printing and study its microstructure influence on the ink absorption. In the present work, two inkjet materials were prepared: one with unmodified nano-SiO2 (S_1), the other with silica coupling agent modified nano-SiO2 (S_2). The surface characteristic changing after modification was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM). Wetting with contact angles was determined by the dynamic contact angle analysis test (DCAT). Through measurements, the dispersion of modified nano-SiO2 particles in the coating was superior to the dispersion of unmodified nano-SiO2 particles, surface roughness value (Ra) of S_1 was significantly higher than that of S_2, dynamic contact angle of S_2 is smaller than that of S_1 and ink droplet absorption in S_2 was much faster than in S_1. These results also reveal that the modification method is effective and offers a potential way to fabricate inkjet material with the advantages of microstructure and ink absorption over traditional methods.
⺠The nanoporous coating used this method was fabricated first. ⺠The microstructure of the inkjet material was analyzed and discussed in detail. ⺠The ink absorption was examined and analyzed from microstructure.
