A colored resin particle dispersion and an ink are provided which exhibit excellent abrasion resistance of the printed items and excellent storage stability of the dispersion. Specifically provided is a colored resin particle dispersion comprising colored resin particles containing a colorant and a solid resin, a basic dispersant, and a non-aqueous solvent, wherein the solid resin is a resin having alkoxy groups and/or a polysilsesquioxane. The resin having alkoxy groups preferably has methoxy groups and/or ethoxy groups. Further, the resin having alkoxy groups preferably contains at least one of a polyamide resin having methoxymethyl groups, a methoxypolysilsesquioxane and an ethoxypolysilsesquioxane.

A composite waterborne dispersion for 3D printing. The dispersion includes a composition containing an aqueous dispersion of polymer particles; an associative thickener; and a functional filler. The functional filler may be conductive particles, fumed silica, milled glass fibers, polydimethylsiloxane, eutectic metal particles, carbon fiber, thermally insulating particles, thermally conductive particles, ferromagnetic particles, particles with high acoustic impedance, low-k dielectric particles, or high-k dielectric particles. The composition has a yield stress >0 Pa, the yield stress being at least one of dynamic yield stress and static yield stress. The composition is film-forming when dried. A method for three-dimensionally printing an object with a three-dimensional printer includes dispensing a composite waterborne dispersion to deposit the dispersion toward a build surface to define an object portion, the dispersion including an aqueous dispersion of polymer particles and an associative thickener, the composition having a yield stress >0 Pa and being film-forming when dried.

A method for creating a dielectric thin-film coating for devices having a fusible element is disclosed. The method comprises mixing insoluble and soluble polymers in solid form and exposing the mixture to heat to create a melt mixture. The melt mixture is then dissolved in a solvent to create a slurry which can then be deposited on the device as a thin-film coating to create an interior insulation layer or an external surface.
