Title: Veronique Vandenberghe: Innovator in Inorganic Colored Pigments
Introduction
Veronique Vandenberghe is a notable inventor based in Zaventem, Belgium. She has made significant contributions to the field of inorganic colored pigments through her innovative processes. Her work is particularly recognized for its application in the production of encapsulated metal colloids.
Latest Patents
Vandenberghe holds a patent for a process titled "Process for producing encapsulated metal colloids as inorganic coloured pigments." This invention involves a method for producing encapsulated metal colloids that are useful as inorganic colored pigments. The process includes reacting one or more glass-forming components according to the sol-gel process to obtain a sol that disperses a metal salt. An additional reducing agent is used to form metal colloids, which are then converted into xerogel-encapsulated metal colloids through spray drying. The resulting xerogel-encapsulated metal colloids are subsequently heated to densify them. The invention also relates to inorganic colored pigments, particularly those produced by this process, with the encapsulation being made from glass-forming components and containing at least 80% metal colloid.
