Abstract

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing an inkjet ink including a polyamic acid (A), including a step of at least reacting one or more compounds selected from the group of a monoamine (a3) and a compound having one acid anhydride group (a4) with a compound having two or more acid anhydride groups (a1) and a diamine (a2).

Claims (24)

1. An inkjet ink comprising a polyamic acid (A) having structural units expressed by Formula (1):

wherein R 1 and R 2 are each independently a C 2 to C 100 organic group; and having at least one molecular terminal group selected from the group of molecular terminal groups expressed by Formulas (21) and (22):

wherein R 3 and R 4 are each independently a C 2 to C 100 organic group;

and a solvent (B), wherein the inkjet ink comprises 20 to 60 weight parts of the polyamic acid (A) per 100 weight parts ink jet ink, and the viscosity of the ink is 1 to 50 mPa·S at 25° C., and the polyamic acid (A) has a weight average molecular weight of 1,000 to 4,500.

2. The inkjet ink according to claim 1 , wherein the solvent (B) comprises less than or equal to approximately 20 wt % amide-based solvent with respect to the total solvent weight.

3. The inkjet ink according to claim 2 , wherein the solvent (B) is at least one solvent selected from the group consisting of ethyl lactate, ethanol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, glycerol, diethylene glycol dimethyl ether, diethylene glycol diethyl ether, diethylene glycol methylethyl ether, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate, ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, ethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate, propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, methyl 3-methoxypropionate, ethyl 3-ethoxypropionoate, cyclohexanone, and gamma-butyrolactone.

4. The inkjet ink according to claim 1 , wherein the solvent (B) does not include an amide-based solvent.

5. The inkjet ink according to claim 1 , further comprising an epoxy resin (C).

6. The inkjet ink according to claim 5 , wherein the epoxy resin (C) is at least one compound selected from the group consisting of N,N,N′,N′-tetraglycidyl-m -xylenediamine, 1,3-bis(N,N-diglycidylaminomethyl)cyclohexane, N,N,N′,N′-tetraglycidyl-4,4′-diaminodiphenylmethane, and compounds expressed by the Formulas (4) to (7):

wherein n is an integer from 0 to 10.

7. The inkjet ink according to claim 1 , wherein the inkjet ink comprises approximately 20 to approximately 55 weight parts of the polyamic acid (A) per 100 weight parts inkjet ink.

8. The inkjet ink according to claim 1 , wherein the inkjet ink comprises approximately 20 to approximately 50 weight parts of the polyamic acid (A) per 100 weight parts inkjet ink.

9. The inkjet ink according to claim 1 , having a water content of approximately 10,000 ppm or less.

10. The inkjet ink according to claim 1 , having a water content of approximately 5,000 ppm or less.

11. An inkjet ink comprising a polyamic acid (A) having structural units expressed by Formula (1):

wherein R 1 and R 2 are each independently a C 2 to C 100 organic group; and having at least one molecular terminal group selected from the group of molecular terminal groups expressed by Formulas (21) and (22):

wherein R 3 and R 4 are each independently a C 2 to C 100 organic group;

and a solvent (B), wherein the inkjet ink comprises 20 to 60 weight parts of the polyamic acid (A) per 100 weight parts ink jet ink, and the polyamic acid (A) has a weight average molecular weight of 1,000 to 4,500.

12. The inkjet ink according to claim 11 , wherein the solvent (B) comprises less than or equal to approximately 20 wt % amide-based solvent with respect to the total solvent weight.

13. The inkjet ink according to claim 12 , wherein the solvent (B) is at least one solvent selected from the group consisting of ethyl lactate, ethanol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, glycerol, diethylene glycol dimethyl ether, diethylene glycol diethyl ether, diethylene glycol methylethyl ether, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate, ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, ethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate, propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, methyl 3-methoxypropionate, ethyl 3-ethoxypropionoate, cyclohexanone, and gamma -butyrolactone.

14. The inkjet ink according to claim 11 , wherein the solvent (B) does not include an amide-based solvent.

15. The inkjet ink according to claim 11 , further comprising an epoxy resin (C).

16. The inkjet ink according to claim 15 , wherein the epoxy resin (C) is at least one compound selected from the group consisting of N,N,N′,N′-tetraglycidyl-m -xylenediamine, 1,3-bis(N,N-diglycidylaminomethyl)cyclohexane, N,N,N′,N′-tetraglycidyl-4,4′-diaminodiphenylmethane, and compounds expressed by the Formulas (4) to (7):

wherein n is an integer from 0 to 10.
