摘要:
A carrier composition is provided for electrophotographic development. Core particles are coated with a graft copolymer of a fluoropolymer and methyl methacrylate. The core particles preferably are a material selected from steel, nickel, iron, ferrites, passivated iron, or mixtures or alloys thereof. The fluoropolymer preferably is a polymer selected from chlorotrifluoroethylene, polyvinylidene fluoride, polytrifluoroethylene, polytetrafluoroethylene, copolymers of vinylidene fluoride and hexafluoropropylene, and copolymers of vinylidene fluoride and tetrafluoroethylene. In a preferred carrier composition, the coating consists of two layers. The exterior layer is a graft copolymer made of a fluoropolymer and methyl methacrylate.
摘要:
A method for preparing a toner resin having a bimodal distribution of molecular weight is provided for. In order to receive an improved toner on a method comprises are the following steps: a first resin portion is formed by emulsion polymerization of at least one monomer; A second resin portion is formed around the first resin portion by suspension polymerization of at least one monomer. As a result a resin is obtained which has a polydispersity in the range of 5 to 50. Further on a toner composition is provided for comprising a resin as main component. The resin comprises articles containing a first resin portion having a particle size in the range of about 50 to about 200 nanometers. The number average molecular weight is in the range of about 10 4 to 10 7 daltons. The resin further comprises a second resin portion formed around the first resin portion. That second resin portion has a number average molecular weight lower than that of said first resin portion. The resin has a polydispersity in the range 5 to 50.
