Definition

Pigments, which have been widely used since prehistoric times, include naturally occurring substances prepared from minerals or their combustion products as well as synthetic compounds produced from appropriate raw materials and also hybrid pigment types derived from organic and/or natural dyes and selected mineral supports including metal oxides, biopolymers, and others. Pigments are insoluble in the surrounding medium and their optical effect arises from selective light absorption. They are classified according to their color, origin, method of production, and the character of the pigment material. Hybrid pigment technology is directly related to the development of new synthesis methods, preparation of functional and also environmentally friendly colorants.

Introduction

This entry presents the main aspects of classification and production technology, broadly understood, for the most common inorganic pigments. It...
