    The process of ink droplet formation in ink jet printing is observed by the microimage-monitoring system synchronized with a printer head driver. Effects of viscosity and surface tension of jet ink on size and velocity of ink droplet were mainly investigated. The physical properties of jet ink were adjusted with the addition of polye (thylene glycol) and isopropyl alcohol. With increasing viscosity and decreasing surface tension, the velocity of an ink droplet decreased, and the size was also slightly decreased. These phenomena can be analyzed with Reynolds number.
    Sphericity of an ink droplet decreased with increasing viscosity. Satellite formation and its merger into the main ink droplet are of particular interest, but the relations between the satellite and physical properties of jet ink were not so clear. From a viewpoint of printability, jet inks with higher Reynolds number, higher surface tension, and lower viscosity are recommended

    A new modification of silica powder (Aerosil) with sulfonic acid group was achieved. A new alkoxysilane containing isopropyl sulfonate group [(CH3O) 3Si (CH3) 3SO3CH (CH3) 2, [3- (Trimethoxysilyl) propyl] isopropylsulfonate, TIS]] was prepared. Through fixation and pyrolysis of TIS on silica surfaces, new surface-modified Aerosil (SMA) with sulfonic acid group was obtained. Conversion from isopropyl sulfonate group to sulfonic acid group on silica surface was reached 90%.
    It was revealed that the new SMA had the following properties : (1) high trapping ability for several cations (Na+, Ca2+, Cu2+ and Fe3+ : ca. 0.3mmol/g) and (2) high dispersibility in water. The adsorption equilibrium was reached within several seconds. The adsorption amount was not influenced by the concentration of the cations in aqueous solution. The new SMA showed homogeneous dispersion after two-week standing in pH 2. Some mechanisms originated from sulfonic acid functional group were presumed for these properties.

    Organic pigment molecules with conjugated >C=O and >NH groups, such as quinacridone and indigo, could be dissolved in a polar aprotic solvent, dimethyl sulfoxide, by interaction with a strong base, potassium alkoxide. A direct potentiometric titration in the polar aprotic solvent elucidated that those pigment molecules behaved as acid against the potassium alkoxide and were charged negatively. When an acrylic copolymer having a pendant electrophlic epoxide group was reacted with the pigment molecules, an acrylic polymer having a chromophore as the pendant group was found to be synthesized by the addition reaction.
    The adsorption behavior of the above obtained polymer onto the organic pigment having the same chromophore structure was investigated. The polymer with a chromophore showed higher adsorption amount and affinity to the pigment than the polymer without chromophore. The chromophore pendant polymer seemed to be useful as a novel pigment dispersant.
