An aqueous dispersion of a capsule composed of a polymeric shell surrounding a core, the core containing an amine blocked isocyanate, the amine blocked isocyanate comprises at least two isocyanate groups blocked by a blocking group, the blocking groups are independently from each other represented by a secondary amine The aqueous dispersion is suitable as reactive binder chemistry in coatings and inks.

A digital printed fabric includes a base cloth and a digital printing ink disposed on the base cloth, and a manufacturing method for the digital printing ink includes the following steps. A first thermal process including mixing a dye, a crosslinking agent, and a polyol is performed, such that a polymer dye is formed, in which a reaction temperature of the first thermal process is between 70° C. and 90° C. A second thermal process including mixing the polymer dye and an aqueous bridging agent is performed, such that a first mixture is formed, in which a reaction temperature of the second thermal process is between 90° C. and 120° C. A third thermal process including mixing the first mixture and a chain extender is performed, such that the digital printing ink is formed, in which a reaction temperature of the third thermal process is between 120° C. and 150° C.
