SBIR Phase I: One-Step Environmentally-Friendly Synthesis of Novel Organic/Inorganic Hybrid Pigments

这个小型企业创新研究第一阶段项目可能会导致一种新的一步、环保型固态合成新型混合颜料，用于各种应用，如塑料、涂料和涂料以及水泥的着色。所提出的颜料的性质是有机染料和无机粘土之间的化学键的结果，赋予了这两种成分有利的化学功能。本研究的目的是开发一种合成这些颜料的方法。该颜料是一系列环保型、非重金属有机/无机杂化颜料。这种颜料的优点包括耐化学性、光热稳定性和更大的成本竞争力。实现该项目中描述的目标将导致制造过程中的无溶剂创新，用环境友好的“绿色”生产过程取代产生危险废物的商业颜料生产。

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project could result in a new one-step, environmentally friendly solid-state synthesis of novel hybrid pigments for a wide variety of applications such as the coloring of plastics, paints and coatings, and cement. The properties of the proposed pigments result from a chemical bond between organic dyes and an inorganic clay, imparting advantageous chemical functionality from both constituents. The purpose of this research is to develop a method for synthesizing these pigments. The proposed pigments are a series of environmentally friendly, non heavy-metal containing organic/inorganic hybrid pigments. The advantages of the pigments include chemical resistance, light and heat stability and greater cost competitiveness. Meeting the objectives described in this project would result in a solvent-free innovation in manufacturing that replaces hazardous waste-generating commercial pigment manufacturing with an environmentally friendly, "green" production process.
