Monodisperse Hollow Tricolor Pigment Particles for Electronic Paper.

A general approach has been designed to blue, green, and red pigments by metal ions doping hollow TiO₂. The reaction involves initial formation of PS at TiO₂ core–shell nanoparticles via a mixed-solvent method, and then mixing with metal ions solution containing PEG, followed calcining in the atmosphere. The as-prepared hollow pigments exhibit uniform size, bright color, and tunable density, which are fit for electronic paper display. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
