Effect of process conditions on the properties of surface‐modified organic pigments encapsulated by UV‐curable resins

Aqueous dispersions of nanoscale organic pigments were successfully prepared via ball milling and ultrasonication. The dispersed organic pigments were encapsulated into UV‐curable resins via a mini‐emulsion technique. Critical factors that affected the dispersion and encapsulation stability were investigated. The encapsulated organic pigments were characterised with transmission electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analyses, Fourier...
