Exploring the conformation of Poly(methacrylic acid-co-benzyl methacrylate), P(MAA-co-BzMA) on contrast matched Carbon black

DOI

The research is important from both a fundamental science and an industrial perspective. The conformation of a polymeric dispersant at the solid-liquid surface is important when considering its overall ability to stabilize colloid dispersions. Inkjet inks are colloidal dispersions whereby pigment is dispersed by a structured copolymer. In this investigation the polymeric dispersant is the random copolymer poly(methacrylic acid-co-benzyl methacrylate); p(MAA36-co-BzMA64), the pigment is carbon black. The change in conformation of p(MAA36-co-BzMA64) on carbon black as a function of concentration will be examined. Carbon black will be contrast matched to model the conformation of p(MAA36-co-BzMA64). Only SANS can achieve this contrast match point.
