Abstract

Lead in our body is toxic and hazardous. Here leadfree Cobalt ferrite and Barium Titanate inks have been prepared and fabricated. The prepared inks remained stable without agglomeration or condensation during preservation. Cobalt Ferrite and Barium Titanate Nano inks have been characterized using X-ray diffraction method and UV Visible Spectroscopy. By the analysis of X-ray diffraction (XRD), the resultant inks were confirmed to be of pure Cobalt Ferrite and Barium Titanate powders with cubic structure and tetragonal structure respectively. Lattice parameters and grain size have been determined by X-ray diffraction method. UV Visible Spectroscopy analysis has been done to obtain the band gap energy of the prepared inks. The preparation and characterization of Cobalt Ferrite and Barium Titanate Nano inks are comprehensively demonstrated in this paper.

Highlights

  • Usage of pigments containing lead in printing inks is widespread and is a common practice

  • This paper reports the preparation of Cobalt Ferrite and Barium Titanate Nano inks which are lead-free and cost-effective

  • In the case of Cobalt Ferrite, the prominent peaks correspond to miller indices (220), (311), (400), (422), (511), (440) are found at 2Θ values 30.208o, 35.542o, 43.242o, 53.980o, 57.289o and 62.644o respectively

Summary

Introduction

Usage of pigments containing lead in printing inks is widespread and is a common practice. The coloured pages of almost all newspapers and magazines contain high levels of lead. By making use of these properties in the ink industry we can make inks having more enhanced properties than that are available today. The size of the pigment used in making ink plays a major role. Their size can significantly affect the colour, strength and durability of the final product. The particle size of the pigments must be small enough so that they do not block the nozzles of the printing mechanism. We can see that Nano-sized particles can enhance the properties of the ink. This paper reports the preparation of Cobalt Ferrite and Barium Titanate Nano inks which are lead-free and cost-effective
