Abstract
Polymer particles containing oil-soluble dyes (colored latex) were prepared by miniemulsion polymerization. The dye preservation properties of colored latex loaded with different types of dye were studied; preservation depended on the rate of dye diffusion and thus on the size of the dye molecules and the hardness of the polymer matrix in the latex particles. Hindered amine stabilizers (HAS) were used to improve the photostability of colored latex. The effect of HAS in colored latex was investigated both as an additive and as a comonomer. The photostability of latex particles containing a simple mixture of dye and HAS was improved with increasing HAS content up to 20% in particles. In the case of colored latex particles combined with HAS by a covalent bond, the optimal amount of HAS for photostability improvement was between 8 and 20%.
