The core-shell structure composite which used carbon black as core and latex as shell was prepared via miniemulsion polymerization. The morphology of the CB/latex composite have been investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and thermogravimetic analysis (TGA). It showed that the prepared dispersion had small particle size and better dispersibility. Furthermore, CB/latex composite showed much better stability and printing performance.
