<p>A polymer and a method of preparing a liquid ink or liquid toner for printing including the steps of dispersing at a monomer in a carrier fluid and a polymerisation stabiliser comprising a multi or single functional group containing polysiloxane, and in situ polymerising the monomer to form uniform polymer particles dispersed in the carrier fluid. The multi or single functional group on the polysiloxane is amino, carboxylic acid, vinyl and hydroxyl. The monomer can be vinyl acetate, styrene, n-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone, acrylic acid and alkyl esters of acrylic acid and methacrylic acid and alkyl esters of methacrylic acid and a polymerisation initiator may be AIBN. The carrier fluid can be silicone fluids or hydrocarbon liquids.</p> |
