摘要:
A method of manufacturing a toner including forming an emulsion by mixing and stirring an aqueous phase and an oil phase in an emulsification mechanism by a stirring blade. The oil phase contains a dissolved material or a dispersed material which contains an organic phase formed of at least one of a resin, a resin precursor, and a monomer. The emulsification mechanism includes an emulsification circulation route formed of pipes having a main portion, and an emulsification device located in the middle of the emulsification circulation route. A stirring blade is provided in the emulsification device. In addition, the stirring Reynolds number (Stirring Re) during the stirring is from 3,000 to 15,000 when calculated based on the following relationship (1): Stirring Reynolds number (stirring Re) = ρnd 2 /µ (1). In the relationship (1), ρ represents the density of the emulsion (kg/m 3 ), n represents the rotation number (rps) of the stirring blade, d represents the blade diameter (m) of the stirring blade, and µ represents the viscosity (Pa s) of the emulsion.
摘要:
A toner is made of toner particles which contains a binder resin and a coloring agent, wherein the toner particles have a weight-average particle size in a range of 6.0 to 11.5 µm, and contains toner particles (a) with a particle diameter of 5 µm or less in a content ratio of 1 to 15% by number, and toner particles (b) with a particle diameter of twice or more the weight-average particle size in a content ratio of 5 wt% or less, and the number-average particle size D25 and the number-average particle size D75 respectively obtained when the cumulative number of the toner particles reaches 25% and 75% at the measurement of a cumulative toner particle distribution by number thereof are in the relationship of 0.60 ≦ D25/D75 ≦ 0.85. A two-component developer includes the above-mentioned toner and a carrier.

A two-component developer includes a magnetic carrier including magnetic carrier particles with an average particle diameter of 35 µm to 100 µm, and a toner including toner particles with a weight-average particle diameter of 6.0 µm to 11.5 µm, to which at least one additive is externally added thereto in an amount of 0.3 to 1.5 wt.% to the toner, the toner particles including (a) toner particles with a particle diameter of 5 µm or less with a content ratio of 15% or less by number, and (b) toner particles with such a particle diameter that is two times or greater than the weight-average particle diameter of the toner particles with a content ratio of 5% or less by volume, the toner particles satisfying a relationship of 0.60 ≦ D25/D75 ≦ 0.85 as defined in the specification. A container in which the two-component developer is contained, and an electrophotographic image formation apparatus in which the container is incorporated are proposed.

摘要:
A method of manufacturing a toner including dissolving or dispersing a toner component containing a colorant and a resin in an organic solvent to obtain a solution or dispersion, continuously emulsifying and dispersing the dissolved or the dispersed liquid in an aqueous medium containing a particulate dispersant to obtain emulsified primary particles, controlling cohesion and agglomeration of the emulsified primary particles and removing the organic solvent. Additionally, the ratio (T1/T2) of the arithmetic mean accumulation time (T1) of the emulsified primary particles obtained in the controlling to the arithmetic mean accumulation time (T2) of the emulsified primary particles obtained in the continuous emulsification or dispersion is from 1 to 5.
