Provided is a method for producing an inorganic oxide in the form of a thin film, the method including a step of bringing a first liquid and a second liquid with each other, the first liquid containing an inorganic oxide precursor and the second liquid containing a substance reacting with the inorganic oxide precursor of the first liquid to form an inorganic oxide derived from the inorganic oxide precursor. The step is performed by continuous operation. At least one of the first liquid and the second liquid includes an ionic liquid.

A low migration energy curable ink composition may include, based upon total composition weight: a) from about 10% to about 80% of a solvent system comprising the following: i) from about 35% to about 80% of one or more mono-functional acrylate monomers, ii) from about 10% to about 35% of one or more di-functional acrylate monomers, and iii) from about 10% to about 30% of one or more tri-functional or greater acrylate monomers; b) from about 3% to about 30% of an acrylate oligomer, and c) from about 1% to about 15% of a colorant. The low migration energy curable ink may be incorporated into an absorbent article.

Highly saturated scarlet dye ink for a high-speed inkjet process and a method of preparing the highly saturated scarlet dye ink are disclosed. In particular, an ink composition according to the present invention includes a dye including a compound represented by Formula 1, and further includes, in addition to the dye, distilled water, a surfactant, and an additive. The ink composition develops a highly saturated scarlet color that is unable to be developed by existing inks for digital textile printing (DTP), and has high water solubility, excellent heat resistance, and light-fastness, and thus may be effectively used as dye and ink for a high-speed inkjet process. ##STR00001##

Provided is an inkjet composition for printing an indelible colorant onto a substrate. Also provided is a method of printing using the inkjet composition, and a printed substrate obtainable and obtained from the method of printing. The inkjet composition has an indelible colorant, one or more solvents, and a binder. The migration distance of the indelible colorant in the substrate is less than 0.85 mm after 7 days at 25° C. The composition may be used to provide indelible markings in the surface of the substrate, and these markings do not significantly disperse over time.

A polyurethane resin having an anionic group and a polyalkylene oxide in a side chain thereof is obtainable by reacting a polyester polyol, a polyether diol, a polyol containing an anionic group, and a polyisocyanate, and the polyester polyol is obtained by reacting an aromatic polycarboxylic acid and a polyol. The polyurethane resin can be used as binder in an ink jet ink and provides excellent scratch and solvent resistance of printed images.
