摘要:
A carrier which is capable of avoiding excess blocking of the carrier particles at the time of forming a covering layer and is excellent in durability, a developer containing the carrier, and a developer container containing the developer, as well as an image forming method and a process cartridge which use the developer are provided. A carrier including at least a core material particle and a covering layer, a surface of the core material particle being covered with the covering layer, wherein the covering layer contains a condensate which is obtained by condensation of a silicone resin having at least one of a silanol group and a functional group which can be converted to the silanol group by hydrolysis, using a titanium diisopropoxy bis(ethylaceto-acetate) catalyst.

Spherical composite particles for use as a magnetic carrier for electrophotography have a number average particle diameter of from 1 to 1000 µm and comprise ferromagnetic iron compound particles, non-magnetic metal oxide particles and a phenol-based resin as a binder resin, the total amount of said ferromagnetic iron compound particles and said non-magnetic metal oxide particles being from 80 to 99 wt% and the ratio of the number-average particle diameter of said non-magnetic metal oxide particles and the number-average particle diameter of said ferromagnetic iron compound particles being more than 1.0:1.
摘要:
An electrophotographic developer comprising a toner and a carrier, in which the carrier is provided on the surface of a core material thereof with a resin coating layer comprising a cured body of a methyl silicone resin containing not less than 70% of T-unit and a methylated melamine resin having molecular weight of not less than 700. This developer is not lowered in flowability, generates no spent particles and presents stable electric charging characteristics. Accordingly, the developer of the present invention is suitably used where there is used a toner containing no electric charge controlling agent.
摘要:
A resin-coated magnetic carrier for two-component developers which comprises magnetic particles and a resin coating formed on the individual magnetic particles is described. The resin coating is made of a cured resin composition comprised of an alkylated melamine resin whose molecular weight satisfies the following inequality M ≧ 1100C - 400 wherein M represents a weight average molecular weight of the resin and C represents the number of carbon atoms in the alkyl moiety, and an acryl-modified silicone resin. The use of the composition is effective in preventing the coated particles from melt adhesion and in forming a smooth and uniform coating layer on individual particles. The resin-coated carrier is significantly reduced in amount of spend carrier and has good durability, moisture resistance, chargeability.
