Micronizing ceramic pigments for inkjet printing: Part II. Effect on phase composition and color

Synthesis and characterization of (Pr, Ce)‐ZrSiO4 ceramic pigments: The properties of the pigments and the effect of Ce

“…Table shows the chromaticity parameters of the calcined samples. Both the a * and the b * values slightly declined when compared with the values of the prepared pigment powders, which is probably caused by the destruction of the pigment particles during the ball‐milling process . The b * values of the glazed samples remained relatively high, revealing the high‐temperature stability and superior resistance to the erosion in glaze of the pigments.…”

Solution combustion synthesis (SCS) of chrome alumina as a high temperature pink pigment

“…The former is formed when transition metals are the main part of the structure and participates, in the formation of ligands such as Cr 2 O 3 and CoAl 2 O 4. The later consists of substitution and inclusion pigments. Substitution of transition elements or lanthanides in the host lattice leads to the formation of the color appearance.…”

Ink-jet printability of aqueous ceramic inks for digital decoration of ceramic tiles

“…Bimodal distribution is probably due to agglomeration phenomena. The new surface area created by comminution increases linearly with milling time, but different trends in the increase in specific surface area were seen as a function of median particle size, indicative of complex changes in particle size and shape as confirmed by the pigments' microstructure, that were illustrated in the first two parts of this study [7][8]. The particle size data for the three pigments achieved under different experimental conditions are reported in Table 1.…”

“…Ceramic pigments are currently micronized down to a mean particle diameter around 0.3 µm in order to prevent clogging of print heads [7][8]. However, micronization causes a strong increase in the specific surface area of pigments, with the drawback of a high tendency of particles to agglomerate.…”
