A composition of matter, a phase change ink, and a method of reducing a coefficient of friction of a phase change ink formulations

摘要

The invention encompasses a phase change ink comprising a material of the formula wherein X1, X2, X3, and X4 are segments comprising atoms selected from groups V and VI of the periodic table; wherein at least one R1 and R5 comprises at least 37 carbon units; and wherein R2, R3 and R4 each comprise at least one carbon unit. The invention further encompasses a composition of matter, as well as methods of reducing coefficients of friction of phase change ink formulations. <IMAGE>
