Abstract
The feasibility of a novel type of surfactant-templated mesoporous silica particles as pigments in Inkjet paper has been evaluated. The surfactant-templated mesoporous silica pigments with small pores and narrow pore-size distribution were investigated, and compared to a typical silica gel with larger pores and broader pore-size distribution. The surfactant-templated pigments required significantly lower amounts of binder and gave improvements in colour richness and sharpness relative to the silica gel pigment.
