The present disclosure provides dimeric fluorosurfactants related methods and ink-jet inks incorporating such fluorosurfactants. As such, an ink-jet ink can comprise a liquid vehicle; a non-ionic fluorosurfactant dimer having the structure CF 3 (CF 2 ) x (CH 2 ) y (CR 2 CR 2 O) z -A-(OCR 2 CR 2 ) a (CH 2 ) b (CF 2 ) c CF 3 , where R is independently H or methyl, A is a bridging unit containing aliphatic or aromatic functionality, x is 3 to 18, y is 0 to 8, z is 0 to 100, a is 0 to 100, b is 0 to 8, and c is 3 to 18; and a colorant. |
