Abstract
Phthalocyanine green is a hydrophobic pigment with excellent properties, which is usually dispersed in the organic phase. However, most organic phases are volatile and harmful to the environment and organisms. Therefore, phthalocyanine green dispersed in the aqueous phase has development potential. In this work, cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) were used as dispersant and stabilizer to disperse phthalocyanine green in the aqueous phase. Phthalocyanine green was added to CNCs colloid to prepare phthalocyanine green suspensions with good dispersibility and stability. The particle size, zeta potential, absorbance and microstructure of the phthalocyanine green suspensions were tested and analyzed. The results showed that CNCs had good dispersibility and stability to phthalocyanine green due to charge repulsion and steric hindrance. The phthalocyanine green suspensions were nano-sized and had well compatibility with different types of coating forming substances. The coatings of the mixture had good water resistance, adhesion and mechanical properties. The suspensions had the application property and could be mixed with coating forming substances to prepare coating materials. As a renewable and easily degraded biomass resource, CNCs are expected to become a new dispersant and stabilizer for pigment.
