Abstract
A composition that is useful in a wide variety of applications comprises a latex having water as a continuous phase and, as the dispersed phase, hydrophobic polymer particles having associated therewith both a dye and a stabilizer for the dye. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the dye is an infrared absorbing dye. The composition can be used as an inkjet ink, as a coating composition to form an infrared sensitive optical recording layer or for other purposes.
