A TiO2/latex composite was prepared from KH570-modified TiO2 and methylmethacrylate (MMA) via miniemulsion polymerization, and further was used to formulate a white inkjet ink. Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FTIR), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) indicated that the copolymer of DNS-86 and MMA was successfully coated onto TiO2 surface and amount of copolymer was about 40%. A white inkjet ink prepared from the TiO2/latex composite had a small particle size, a narrow particle size distribution and enhanced stabilities to temperature and centrifugal forces. This research may provide a method to prepare a white inkjet ink for textile inkjet printing.
