Patent ID: 10000647

Abstract:
The present invention provides an aqueous pigment dispersion including at least a pigment, colloidal silica, bio-nanofibers having an average diameter of 1 nm to 100 nm and an aspect ratio of 100 or more, an anionic group-containing organic polymer compound, and also provides an aqueous ink. The bio-nanofibers are preferably cellulose nanofibers or chitosan nanofibers, and the ratio between the pigment, the colloidal silica, and the bio-nanofibers preferably satisfies (1) colloidal silica/pigment=1/100 to 20/100 or (2) colloidal silica/bio-nanofibers=1/2 to 10/1 and (3) bio-nanofibers/pigment=1/100 to 15/100.
