Porous media coatings having surface-modified alumina particulates

摘要

The present invention is drawn to systems and coated substrates for ink-jet ink printing. The coated media substrate can comprise a substrate, having coated thereon, a porous coating, wherein the porous coating comprises an alumina particulate having an active ligand covalently attached thereto or adsorbed thereon. Preferably, the alumina particulate is an aluminum oxide having surface hydroxyls.
