The invention provides dispersed inorganic mixed metal oxide pigment compositions in a hydrocarbon media utilizing a dispersant having polyisobutylene succinic anhydride structure reacted with a non-polymeric amino ether/alcohol to disperse a mixed metal oxide pigment in the media. The metal oxide pigment is of the type used to color ceramic or glass articles. A milling process using beads is also described to reduce the mixed metal oxide particle size to the desired range. A method of using the mixed metal oxide dispersion to digitally print an image on a ceramic or glass article using the dispersion jetted through a nozzle and subsequently firing the colored article is also described.

The present invention relates to a solid dispersion, a preparation method therefor, a chain-extended polyurethane using same, and an epoxy resin composition comprising same and, more particularly, to a solid dispersion in which an inorganic or organic material-derived isotropic or anisotropic substance is used as a dispersoid and dispersed at room temperature in a solid-phase dispersion medium such as polyols and sugars, whereby the dispersion can be easily stored and used, reduce transportation cost, prevent or alleviate the aggregation or precipitation caused during the storage of products, with the results of working efficiency improvement and processing cost reduction, and, when applied to polyurethane, can increase strength and provide an improved strength, compared to conventional curing agent, a preparation method therefor, a chain-extended polyurethane using same, and an epoxy resin composition comprising same.

A non-linear surfactant, and particularly a non-linear surfactant comprising bi-functionalized molecules or particles having both hydrophobic and hydrophilic groups. The non-linear surfactant includes a nanoparticle template of a rigid molecular structure, wherein the nanoparticle comprises a molecule or a particle that is bi-functionalized with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups to obtain an amphiphilic nanoparticle. The template nanoparticle can be used as a surfactant, wetting agent, emulsifier, detergent or other surface active agents or for the preparation of nanoemulsions or dispersions. The non-linear surfactant can provide smaller particle sizes for emulsion suspensions and foams.
