Features: This book is the first specialized work in China on the chemistry of writing and drawing materials. It systematically describes the development history of various writing and drawing materials from ancient times to the present. It focuses on introducing the composition and characteristics of pencil, chalk, brush pen, fountain pen, ballpoint pen, rollerball pen, whiteboard marker, liquid chalk, fluorescent invisible pen, gel pen, highlighter, light-sensitive hydrolysis pen, and other writing and drawing materials, providing certain formulations and preparation methods. It briefly introduces the principles of colloid chemistry, surface chemistry, radiation chemistry, and their applications in inks. It discusses the roles and interactions of major components such as pigments, surfactants, and polymers in inks. It provides national standards for main writing and drawing materials, as well as methods for composition testing, toxicity testing, and durability testing, highlighting the health hazards of chalk to teachers and students. Finally, it looks ahead to the future development trends of writing and drawing materials and teaching methods. This book has certain reference value for the research and development of writing and drawing materials. It can be used as a reference book for personnel engaged in chemistry, chemical engineering, pen manufacturing, and ink manufacturing, as well as teaching reference materials for teachers and students of related disciplines.
