Title: Masashi Miyano: Innovator in Inkjet Technology

Introduction

Masashi Miyano is a prominent inventor based in Tokyo, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of inkjet technology, holding a total of 4 patents. His work focuses on developing advanced ink compositions that enhance the performance and stability of inkjet printing.

Latest Patents

Miyano's latest patents include an active light ray-curable inkjet ink composition and an inkjet recording method. The purpose of the first invention is to provide an ink composition that exhibits excellent curing properties and high storage stability. This composition contains a curable monomer, a photopolymerization initiator, an amine-modified oligomer, a pigment, and a polymer dispersing agent. The content of the amine-modified oligomer is maintained at 0.5-10 mass % relative to the overall mass of the ink composition. The polymer dispersing agent, which adsorbs the pigment, contains a tertiary amine group and is present at 20-70 mass % relative to the pigment.

The second patent describes an active ray curable inkjet ink that includes a radical polymerizable compound, a radical polymerization initiator, a color material, and an odor material scavenger. The radical polymerization initiator is a compound producing aldehyde, while the radical polymerizable compound contains a monofunctional radical polymerizable compound in an amount of 0 mass % to 10 mass % with respect to the total mass of the ink. The odor material scavenger is a compound with a primary or secondary amine group, or a compound with a hydroxyl group, having a molecular weight of 1000 or less. The content of the odor material scavenger is lower than that of the radical polymerization initiator, and the absorbance of the inkjet ink to light with a wavelength of 365 nm to 395 nm is between 400 to 1000.
