Use of Polymer Composites as Thickeners for Printing Inks

Abstract

On the basis of the fact that imported components are mainly used as thickeners at Uzbek textile enterprises, such as salts of alginic acid, emprint, semiprint, and so on, we studied the possibility of replacing them with homeproduced compounds. For this purpose, use was made of water-soluble natural and synthetic polymer composites, including hydrolysed acrylic emulsion (HAE), polyacrylamide (PAA), produced at the "Navoiazot" Production Association, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) produced in Namangan, and starch.

Influence of the Component Ratio of a Polymer Composite on the Properties of a Concentrate

“…The printing properties of such composites depend on a number of factors: on the nature of the polymer (its chemical structure, molecular weight, degree of branching, and so on), the components of the system, the thermodynamic properties of the solvents, the temperature, etc. [1][2][3][4].…”
