For example, an azo-based polymerization initiator or a peroxide-based polymerization initiator is used, and polymerization is performed while dropping the monomers into a water-soluble organic solvent or charging them all at once. At the time of polymerization, a chain transfer agent such as thiols or bromomethyl acrylate may be used in combination in order to adjust the molecular weight of the resulting polymer.

- This polymeric dispersant is an A- It is a B block copolymer.
- the A1 chain is a water-insoluble polymer block
- the B1 chain is a water-soluble polymer block in which at least part of the carboxy groups derived from methacrylic acid are neutralized with alkali.
- the A1 chain is a water-insoluble polymer block, it is highly hydrophobic and easily interacts with water-insoluble pigments. Therefore, the A1 chain can be adsorbed or deposited on the pigment by hydrogen bonding or the like, thereby encapsulating the pigment. Also, since the A1 chain has a high molecular weight, it hardly leaves the pigment. Furthermore, since the A1 chains are adsorbed to the pigment and the B1 chains are dissolved in water, the finely dispersed pigments undergo steric repulsion and the finely dispersed state is maintained for a long period of time.
- the polymer dispersant that is free or dissolved in the liquid medium is small, or even if it is free, the A1 chain is water-insoluble and forms particles, so that the ejection stability of the water-based inkjet ink can be improved. It is possible to provide an ink suitable for high-speed printing.
- the B1 chain is a water-soluble polymer block. Since the polymer dispersant is adsorbed on the pigment, even when the ink containing the polymer dispersant is dried with an inkjet head or the like, the polymer dispersant is difficult to detach from the adsorbed pigment. For this reason, the pigment hardly aggregates, and the detached polymer dispersant hardly forms a film, so it has excellent resolubility and can be dispersed by adding an aqueous liquid medium. can be easily returned.
- the polymeric dispersant is an AB block copolymer containing polymer chain A1 and polymer chain B1 in which the content of structural units derived from methacrylic acid-based monomers is 90% by mass or more.
- Methacrylic acid-based monomers are methacrylic acid and methacrylate, which is an esterified product of methacrylic acid.
- AB block copolymers are polymers with precisely controlled structures and can be prepared by living polymerization, especially living radical polymerization. Using an organic iodide as a starting compound and producing an AB block copolymer by living radical polymerization using an organic compound as a catalyst makes it possible to use environmentally friendly materials and has a high degree of freedom in polymer design.
- the iodine atom which is a terminal propagating group, is preferably bound to a tertiary carbon atom, so the AB block copolymer has a structure derived from a methacrylic acid-based monomer.
- the unit content is 90% by mass or more.
- the AB block copolymer has a high glass transition temperature, so that images with improved thermal properties such as heat resistance can be recorded.
- methacrylic acid-based monomers have higher hydrolysis resistance than acrylic acid-based monomers such as acrylic acid esters, so they are relatively stable and are less likely to be hydrolyzed even in aqueous liquid media.
- the AB block copolymer preferably contains 100% by mass of structural units derived from methacrylic acid-based monomers.
- methacrylic acid-based monomer it is preferable to use methacrylic acid and methacrylate derived from biological materials. Furthermore, methacrylates derived from petroleum materials may be used.
- the polymer chain A1 contains 80% by mass or more of the structural unit (ii-a) derived from a methacrylate derived from a biological material, has a number average molecular weight of 1,000 to 10,000, and has a molecular weight distribution of 1.6 or less. It is a water-insoluble polymer block. That is, the A1 chain is a polymer block that can adsorb and deposit on pigments, encapsulating them.
- the content of structural units (ii-a) derived from methacrylates derived from biological materials is 80% by mass or more, preferably 90% or more. If the content of the structural unit (ii-a) in the A1 chain is less than 80% by mass, environmental consideration may be somewhat insufficient. In addition, as long as the content of the structural unit (ii-a) is 80% by mass or more, a structural unit derived from a methacrylate derived from a petroleum raw material may be included. Furthermore, as long as the A1 chain is a water-insoluble polymer block, it may contain, for example, about 0.5 to 5% by mass of structural units derived from methacrylic acid.
- the A1 chain is a polymer block whose Mn is 1,000 to 10,000, preferably 2,000 to 8,000. Since the molecular weight of the A1 chain is relatively large, it is easily adsorbed and deposited on the pigment and can encapsulate the pigment. If the Mn of the A1 chain is less than 1,000, it may easily dissolve in a liquid medium such as a water-soluble organic solvent and may be released from the pigment. On the other hand, when the Mn of the A1 chain exceeds 10,000, it tends to become water-insoluble, and may become difficult to adsorb to the pigment.
- the A1 chain is a polymer block with a relatively uniform molecular weight with a molecular weight distribution (PDI) of 1.6 or less, preferably 1.5 or less.

以下、本発明の実施の形態について説明するが、本発明は以下の実施の形態に限定されるものではない。本明細書中の各種物性値は、特に断りのない限り、常温(25℃)における値である。以下、「水性顔料分散液」のことを単に「顔料分散液」とも記し、「水性インクジェットインク」のことを単に「インク」とも記す。
顔料としては、有機顔料や無機顔料を用いることができる。有機顔料としては、溶性アゾ顔料、不溶性アゾ顔料、フタロシアニン顔料、キナクリドン顔料、イソインドリノン顔料、イソインドリン顔料、ペリレン顔料、ペリノン顔料、ジオキサジン顔料、アントラキノン顔料、ジアンスラキノニル顔料、アンスラピリミジン顔料、アンサンスロン顔料、インダンスロン顔料、フラバンスロン顔料、ピランスロン顔料、ジケトピロロピロール顔料等を挙げることができる。無機顔料としては、二酸化チタン、酸化鉄、五酸化アンチモン、酸化亜鉛、シリカ、硫化カドミウム、炭酸カルシウム、炭酸バリウム、硫酸バリウム、クレー、タルク、黄鉛、カーボンブラック、アルミフレーク、雲母顔料、竹炭、ヤシ殻活性炭、貝粉粉砕物、松脂等の煤等を挙げることができる。

高分子分散剤は、(メタ)アクリル酸及びイタコン酸の少なくともいずれかに由来する構成単位(i)を含むポリマーである。イタコン酸は発酵法で得られるモノマーであるため、環境に優しい材料である。これらのモノマーを用いることで、高分子分散剤として用いるポリマーにカルボキシ基を導入することができる。また、導入したカルボキシ基をアルカリで中和してイオン化することで、ポリマー(高分子分散剤)を水に溶解させることができる。
メタクリル酸系モノマーに由来する構成単位の含有量が90質量%以上である、ポリマー鎖A1及びポリマー鎖B1を含むA-Bブロックコポリマーである。
[要件(2)]:
ポリマー鎖A1が、
生物材料由来のメタクリレートに由来する構成単位(ii-a)を80質量%以上含み、
数平均分子量が1,000~10,000であり、
分子量分布が1.6以下である水不溶性のポリマーブロックである。
[要件(3)]:
ポリマー鎖B1が、
メタクリル酸に由来する構成単位(i-b)を含み、
生物材料由来のメタクリレートに由来する構成単位(ii-b)を40~90質量%含み、
酸価が50~260mgKOH/gであり、
数平均分子量が1,000~10,000であり、
カルボキシ基の少なくとも一部がアルカリで中和されているポリマーブロックである。
[要件(4)]:
数平均分子量が2,000~20,000であり、分子量分布が1.6以下である。
高分子分散剤は、メタクリル酸系モノマーに由来する構成単位の含有量が90質量%以上である、ポリマー鎖A1及びポリマー鎖B1を含むA-Bブロックコポリマーである。メタクリル酸系モノマーは、メタクリル酸、及びメタクリル酸のエステル化物であるメタクリレートである。A-Bブロックコポリマーは、その構造が的確に制御されたポリマーであり、リビング重合、なかでもリビングラジカル重合によって製造することができる。有機ヨウ化物を開始化合物として用いるとともに、有機化合物を触媒として用いるリビングラジカル重合によってA-Bブロックコポリマーを製造することが、環境に配慮した材料を使用可能であるとともに、ポリマー設計の自由度が高いために好ましい。有機ヨウ化物を用いるリビングラジカル重合の場合、末端成長基であるヨウ素原子は第3級の炭素原子に結合していることが好ましいため、A-Bブロックコポリマーは、メタクリル酸系モノマーに由来する構成単位の含有量が90質量%以上である。また、メタクリル酸系モノマーに由来する構成単位の含有量が多いと、A-Bブロックコポリマーのガラス転移温度が高くなるので、耐熱性等の熱的性質が向上した画像を記録することができる。さらに、メタクリル酸系モノマーは、アクリル酸エステル等のアクリル酸系モノマーに比して耐加水分解性が高いので、水性の液媒体中でも加水分解しにくく、比較的安定である。なかでも、A-Bブロックコポリマーは、メタクリル酸系モノマーに由来する構成単位の含有量が100質量%であることが好ましい。
ポリマー鎖A1は、生物材料由来のメタクリレートに由来する構成単位(ii-a)を80質量%以上含み、数平均分子量が1,000~10,000であり、分子量分布が1.6以下である水不溶性のポリマーブロックである。すなわち、A1鎖は、顔料に吸着及び堆積し、顔料をカプセル化しうるポリマーブロックである。
ポリマー鎖B1は、メタクリル酸に由来する構成単位(i-b)を含み、生物材料由来のメタクリレートに由来する構成単位(ii-b)を40~90質量%含み、酸価が50~260mgKOH/gであり、数平均分子量が1,000~10,000であり、カルボキシ基の少なくとも一部がアルカリで中和されているポリマーブロックである。すなわち、B1鎖は、カルボキシ基の少なくとも一部がアルカリで中和され、イオン化することで水に溶解する水溶性のポリマーブロックである。
A-BブロックコポリマーのMnは2,000~20,000、好ましくは3,000~15,000、さらに好ましくは5,000~12,000である。A-BブロックコポリマーのMnが2,000未満であると、顔料から脱離しやすくなることがある。一方、A-BブロックコポリマーのMnが20,000超であると、重合中に粘度が過度に上昇したり、水性顔料分散液の粘度が過度に上昇したりすることがある。
高分子分散剤として用いる上記のA-Bブロックコポリマーは、従来公知の方法にしたがって製造することができる。例えば、リビングアニオン重合、リビングカチオン重合、リビングラジカル重合によって製造することができる。なかでも、条件、材料、及び装置等の観点から、リビングラジカル重合によって製造することが好ましい。
本発明の水性顔料分散液は、水性インクジェットインク用の顔料分散液として好適である。水性顔料分散液中の顔料の含有量は、5~60質量%であることが好ましい。顔料が有機顔料である場合、水性顔料分散液中の有機顔料の含有量は、5~30質量%であることが好ましく、10~25質量%であることがさらに好ましい。また、顔料が無機顔料である場合、無機顔料は比重が大きいので、水性顔料分散液中の無機顔料の含有量は、20~60質量%であることが好ましく、30~50質量%であることがさらに好ましい。
水性顔料分散液には、高分子分散剤を中和するため、又はpH調整のため、アルカリをさらに含有させてもよい。アルカリとしては、前述のアルカリを用いることができる。水性顔料分散液中のアルカリの含有量は、0.5~5質量%とすることが好ましい。
水性顔料分散液の粘度は、顔料の性質や、調製しようとする水性インクジェットインクの粘度等に応じて適宜設定することができる。有機顔料を用いた場合には、水性顔料分散液の25℃における粘度は3~20mPa・sであることが好ましい。無機顔料を用いた場合には、水性顔料分散液の25℃における粘度は5~30mPa・sであることが好ましい。
水性顔料分散液は、従来公知の方法にしたがって調製することができる。例えば、水、及び必要に応じて水溶性有機溶媒を添加して、顔料及び高分子分散剤等の混合物を調製する。そして、ペイントシェイカー、ボールミル、アトライター、サンドミル、横型メディアミル、コロイドミル、ロールミル等を使用し、顔料を微分散させて分散液を調製する。調製した分散液に、水及び水溶性有機溶媒を添加するとともに、必要に応じて、バインダー成分(エマルジョン)、その他の添加剤等を添加して所望の濃度に調整する。さらに、アルカリ等を添加してpHを調整してもよい。さらに、界面活性剤や防腐剤等の各種添加剤を必要に応じて添加することで、目的とする水性顔料分散液を得ることができる。なお、各成分の混合及び分散後には、遠心分離機やフィルターを用いて粗大粒子を除去することが好ましい。
本発明の水性インクジェットインクは、前述の水性顔料分散液を含有するインクである。前述の水性顔料分散液を用いること以外は、従来公知の方法にしたがって本発明のインクとすることができる。
上述のインクは、例えば、普通紙、写真印画紙、フォト光沢紙、マット紙等の紙類に印刷して画像を記録するインクとして有用である。但し、プラスチックフィルム、プラスチック成形品、繊維、布地、金属、セラミックス等に印刷して画像を記録する場合には、膜を形成する成分であるバインダー成分をインクにさらに含有させることが好ましい。バインダー成分を含有するインクで印刷することで、バインダー成分が皮膜を形成し、得られる画像(乾燥皮膜)の密着性、耐乾摩擦性、耐湿摩擦性、耐ブロッキング性、耐薬品性、耐溶剤性、耐傷性等を向上させることができる。なお、インク中のバインダー成分の含有量は、1~10質量%とすることが好ましい。

バインダー成分は、メタクリル酸系モノマーに由来する構成単位の含有量が90質量%以上である、ポリマー鎖A2及びポリマー鎖B2を含むA-Bブロックコポリマーである。メタクリル酸系モノマーは、メタクリル酸、及びメタクリル酸のエステル化物であるメタクリレートである。A-Bブロックコポリマーは、その構造が的確に制御されたポリマーであり、リビング重合、なかでもリビングラジカル重合によって製造することができる。有機ヨウ化物を開始化合物として用いるとともに、有機化合物を触媒として用いるリビングラジカル重合によってA-Bブロックコポリマーを製造することが、環境に配慮した材料を使用可能であるとともに、ポリマー設計の自由度が高いために好ましい。有機ヨウ化物を用いるリビングラジカル重合の場合、末端成長基であるヨウ素原子は第3級の炭素原子に結合していることが好ましいため、A-Bブロックコポリマーは、メタクリル酸系モノマーに由来する構成単位の含有量が90質量%以上である。また、メタクリル酸系モノマーに由来する構成単位の含有量が多いと、A-Bブロックコポリマーのガラス転移温度が高くなるので、耐熱性等の熱的性質が向上した画像を記録することができる。さらに、メタクリル酸系モノマーは、アクリル酸エステル等のアクリル酸系モノマーに比して耐加水分解性が高いので、水性の液媒体中でも加水分解しにくく、比較的安定である。なかでも、A-Bブロックコポリマーは、メタクリル酸系モノマーに由来する構成単位の含有量が100質量%であることが好ましい。
ポリマー鎖A2は、生物材料由来のバイオメタクリレートに由来する構成単位を80質量%以上含み、数平均分子量が10,000~30,000であり、分子量分布が1.6以下である水不溶性のポリマーブロックである。このA2鎖は、印刷基材に対する密着性及び耐擦過性等の効果を発揮するポリマーブロックである。A2鎖中、生物材料由来のメタクリレートに由来する構成単位の含有量は80質量%以上であり、好ましくは90%以上である。A2鎖中の上記構成単位の含有量が80質量%未満であると、環境に対する配慮がやや不足する場合がある。また、上記構成単位の含有量が80質量%以上である限り、石油原料由来のメタクリレートに由来する構成単位を含んでいてもよい。さらに、A2鎖が水不溶性のポリマーブロックである限り、メタクリル酸に由来する構成単位を、例えば0.5~5質量%程度含んでいてもよい。
ポリマー鎖B2は、メタクリル酸に由来する構成単位を含み、生物材料由来のメタクリレートに由来する構成単位を40~90質量%含み、酸価が50~150mgKOH/gであり、数平均分子量が5,000~20,000であり、カルボキシ基の少なくとも一部がアルカリで中和されているポリマーブロックである。すなわち、B2鎖は、カルボキシ基の少なくとも一部がアルカリで中和され、イオン化することで水に溶解する水溶性のポリマーブロックである。
A-BブロックコポリマーのMnは15,000~50,000、好ましくは16,000~30,000である。A-BブロックコポリマーのMnが15,000未満であると、形成される画像(乾燥皮膜)の耐久性がやや劣ることがある。一方、A-BブロックコポリマーのMnが50,000超であると、インクの粘度が過度に上昇したり、上記の分子量の範囲外のポリマーが多く含まれたりすることがある。
A-Bブロックコポリマーは、その数平均粒子径が10~200nm、好ましくは50~150nmの粒子(バインダー粒子)である。本明細書におけるポリマー等の粒子の数平均粒子径は、動的光散乱法により測定される値である。A-Bブロックコポリマーと水を混合すると、A2鎖が粒子を形成するとともに、B2鎖が水に溶解してバインダー粒子が形成されるため、ミセル、水分散体、又はエマルジョンが形成される。粒子が形成されずに溶解すると、インクの粘度が過度に上昇することがある。これに対して、このA-Bブロックコポリマーは粒子を形成するので、インクの粘度を過度に上昇させることがない。A-Bブロックコポリマーにより形成されるバインダー粒子の数平均粒子径が10nm未満であると、溶解している状態とほぼ同等であることから、インクの粘度が上昇しやすくなる。一方、バインダー粒子の数平均粒子径が200nm超であると、インクジェットヘッドのノズルからの吐出性がやや低下する場合がある。
