摘要 |
The present invention is drawn to an encapsulated pigment. The pigment can be encapsulated by both a first polymer layer and a second polymer layer, with the second polymer layer encapsulating the first polymer layer and/or the pigment. The first polymer layer can have less than 2 wt % polymerized acid monomer. The second polymer layer is more hydrophilic than the first polymer layer, and is present at a weight ratio of first polymer layer to second polymer layer of greater than about 1.5:1. Methods of forming an encapsulated pigment are also presented.
