Monoazo Pigment Red 122 • What are Pigments ?? • Most Common types of Pigments are, • Inorganic Pigments • Organic Pigments • Other types include Metallic and Pearlescent. TEM – Dpp = 0.1 mm (length) LS – Dagg = 0.2 mm Powder – Non Mass Fractal Dpp = 0.13 mm 1% in PP – Mass Fractal, df = 1.91 (DLA) Dpp = 0.13 mm 5% in PP – Mass Fractal, df = 1.5 (DLA) Dpp = 0.13 mm The smallest size of an aggregate necessary for scattering is given by Bragg’s Law, • Regimes of Aggregation • Diffusion Limited Aggregation,df < 2 (df ~ 1.8) • Reaction Limited Aggregation,df > 2 (df ~ 2.5) • Intermediate Regime • Results • The results are a survey of some of the behavior seen when organic pigments are milled into polymers. • This is the first attempt to characterize the aggregation according to the process by which the aggregates are formed. • The mass fractal behavior of these aggregates is studied. • The primary particle of each organic pigment is examined to see if it is made up of a single crystal or multi crystals. The optimum size of the aggregate can be estimated by integrating the Guinier Law, Monoazo Pigment Violet 19 • Why Organic Pigments ? • Most of the research in the pigment industry is concentrated on inorganic pigments like titania. • Until now all work on organic pigments has examined only the surface fractal nature of the organic pigment particles. • We make the first attempt to study the aggregation of organic pigments, the mass fractal nature of these aggregates and their relationship to the optical properties. • The typical size of primary particles of organic pigments is 0.05 to 0.1 mm. The optimal size necessary for good scattering is about 0.5 mm. Diazo Pigment Red 170 (235-0170) TEM – Dpp = 0.05 mm LS – Dagg = 0.4 mm • Aggregation of Organic Pigments • Forces behind aggregation of organic pigments are weak electrostatic forces like van Der Waal’s forces, static charge, chemical polarity and surface tension. • Processing also dictates the nature of the aggregates. • Color is produced in pigments by scattering. Powder – Mass Fractal, df = 2.32 (RLA) Dpp = 0.03 mm, Dagg = 1.2 mm 1% in PP – Mass Fractal, df = 1.55 (DLA) Dpp = 0.16 mm, Dagg = 1.0 mm 5% in PP – Mass Fractal, df = 1 (DLA) Dpp = 0.26 mm • Fractal Structures – have Fractional Dimension • Surface Fractal Object, (ds) • Irregular Surface • Mass Fractal Object, (df) • Irregular Structure TEM – Dpp = 0.2 mm LS – Dagg = 0.4 mm Disazo Pigment Yellow 13 Powder – Non Mass Fractal Dpp = 0.2 mm 20% in PMMA – Mass Fractal, df = 2.5 (RLA) Dagg = 2.35 mm For visible light, l ~ 0.5 mm • The typical particle size for organic pigments is 0.05 to 0.1 mm. Aggregation is necessary for good scattering. Scattering in Organic Pigments Diazo Pigment Red 170 (235-1170) Higher Luminosity TEM – Dpp = 0.1 mm LS – Dagg = 0.5 mm Mie Scattering Dilute Systems, Large Particles, Higher Index Difference Rayleigh Ganz Approximation All Systems, All Particles Particles, Lower Index Difference Powder – Mass Fractal, df = 2.34 (RLA) Dpp = 0.035 mm, Dagg = 0.32 mm 5% in PP – Mass Fractal, df = 2.7 (RLA) Dpp = 0.052 mm, Dagg = 0.49 mm • Common Organic Pigments are, • Azo Pigments: Monoazo (-NH-) or Diazo (-N=N-) • Quinacridones, Naphthol Reds, Diarylides, Rhodamines, and Naphthoic Acid. • Phthalocyanines: (Naphthol) & (-CN) • Metal and Non-metal • Perylenes • Carbazoles • Triphenyl Methane • Anthraquinone and Indigoid Pigments • Denotation: C.I. PR 122 (Pigment Red 122) TEM – Dpp = 0.15 mm LS – Dagg = 0.35 mm Conclusions Powder – Non Mass Fractal Dpp = 0.156 mm 20% in PMMA – Mass Fractal, df = 2.67 (RLA) Dagg = 2.01 mm For X-Rays, the comparable contrast difference is very small between the pigment and the polymer. • Organic pigments field has ignored the importance of aggregates to optical properties. Mass fractal aggregates were observed for all the pigments when milled into polymers. • The size of a crystal is too small to scatter visible light. Aggregation is critical to have good optical properties, and this issue has been dealt with for the first time. • There is an incredible range of behavior in terms of aggregation, based on the polarity of the compound and the particle size. • Some contradictions in the behavior can be seen. • There is a potential to control and design the aggregate size and structure of organic pigments if we had a bit more understanding. • PMMA, used earlier, is a non-crystalline polymer. • PP is a semi-crystalline polymer. The addition of pigments has an effect on the crystallinity of PP. • Unified Function for Mass Fractal Model • Unified Function, used to fit the scattering data, is based on six parameters, • Guinier Prefactors: G1 and G2 • Radius of Gyration: Rg1 and Rg2 • Power law Prefactor: B1 • Fractal Dimension: df Small and Ultra Small Angle X-Ray Scattering (SAXS/USAXS) Range of q for SAXS is 0.01 to 0.1, while USAXS can go down to q value of 0.0001 The diameter of a sphere having similar Rg as the aggregate can be used to estimate the size of the aggregate.
