Abstract
The present disclosure provides latexes and related methods and inkjet inks incorporating such latexes. A latex particulate can comprising multiple intermingled discrete polymer strands, including a low Tg polymer strand having a Tg below 50° C. and a high Tg polymer strand having a Tg at 50° C. or above. The Tg of the high Tg polymer strand can be at least 50° C. greater than the Tg of the low Tg polymer strand, and the average refractive index of the monomers of the low Tg polymer strand can be within 1% of the average refractive index of the monomers of the high Tg polymer strand.
