ABSTRACT

In recent years, printing paper with a function of information delivery and aesthetic value has attracted a greatattention with increasing market demand for coated paper that is capable of high quality printing. The coated paper forinkjet printing with high-quality of photorealistic grades requires the coating layer with a good wettability and poroussurface structure in order to improve the printability of ink. In this study, the coated paper was prepared using polyvinylalcohol (PVA) and surface treated nano silica sol with silane coupling agent. It was confirmed that the coating layer withsurface treated nano silica sol showed a uniform pore distribution and flat surface roughness. Glossiness of the preparedprinting paper was similar to that of commercial high quality photo paper. Especially, the coated paper with surface treatednano silica sol showed improved printability with excellent roundness of the printed dot of ink. These results indicates thatthe coating layer with excellent wettability and uniform pore distribution can be formed by using the nano-silica particleswith improved dispersibility through the surface treatment of the silane coupling agent.
