The present disclosure relates to a method of printing multi-nanoparticles using evaporation dynamics and surface energy control, the method includes: a step S1 of forming a pattern on a surface of a substrate by irradiating ultraviolet rays to a portion of the surface through a photomask; a step S2 of coating the substrate with a solution containing nanoparticles; and a step S3 of lowering surface energy of the coated nanoparticles.

Compositions comprising graphene sheets, graphite, at least one binder, a carrier system. About 1 to about 50 weight percent of the carrier system comprises at least one of a cyclic imide and lactone. The graphene sheets consist of fully exfoliated single sheets of graphite. The ratio by weight of graphite to graphene sheets is from about 50:50 to about 85:15. The composition may be used as coatings and inks.

A preparation method of pearlescent pigment coating materials is provided. The method of the present invention lies in that titanium-iron ions in ilmenites are dissolved by using a hydrochloric acid at a certain temperature and pressure, and then ferrous chloride in the acidolysis solution is precipitated by adding hydrogen chloride gas, the remaining titanium-iron ions are separated from other colored ions by means of co-extraction using an extractant upon oxidation, and an enriched titanium oxydichloride solution and ferrous hydrous oxide are obtained by employing a fractional back extraction and enrichment method, the titanium oxydichloride solution can be used for mica-titanium based pearlescent pigment coating materials, and can also be used for preparing titanium dioxide; and the acidified ferrous hydrous oxide and the oxidized ferrous chloride can be used as iron based pearlescent pigment coating materials or used for preparing iron oxide pigments.
