摘要:
The invention provides liquid electrographic toner compositions comprising a liquid carrier having toner particles dispersed in the liquid carrier. The liquid carrier has a Kauri-Butanol number less than about 30 mL. The toner particles comprise polymeric binder comprising at least one amphipathic copolymer comprising one or more S material portions and one or more D material portions. The S material portion comprises at least one soluble component and at least one insoluble component, wherein the insoluble component is the reaction product of monomers having an absolute difference in Hildebrand solubility parameter from the liquid carrier of about 3.0 MPa1/2 or greater. These toner particles can exhibit excellent final image durability characteristics, and can also provide toner compositions that provide excellent images at low fusion temperatures on a final image receptor.
摘要:
Methods of preparing a liquid electrographic toner composition are provided, wherein a polymeric binder comprising at least one amphipathic copolymer comprising one or more S material portions and one or more D material portions is first prepared in a hydrocarbon reaction solvent, wherein the hydrocarbon reaction solvent comprises less than about 10% aromatic components by weight and has a Kauri-Butanol number less than about 30 mL. Toner particles are then formulated in the hydrocarbon reaction solvent and dried. The dried toner particles are then redispersed in a carrier liquid that is different from the reaction solvent, wherein the carrier liquid comprises less than about 10% aromatic components by weight and has a Kauri-Butanol number less than about 30 mL, to form a redispersed liquid electrographic toner composition. Preferred carrier liquids are silicone oils. Products and kits are also provided.

The invention provides dry electrographic toner compositions comprising toner particles. The toner particles comprise polymeric binder comprising at least one amphipathic copolymer comprising one or more S material portions and one or more D material portions prepared from an organosol reaction process utilizing a liquid carrier reaction medium having a Kauri-Butanol number less than about 30 mL. The S material portion comprises at least one soluble component and at least one non-sorptive component, wherein the non-sorptive component is the reaction product of monomers having an absolute difference in Hildebrand solubility parameter from the liquid carrier of about 3.0 MPa1/2 or greater. Additionally, dry electrographic toner compositions are provided wherein the toner particles comprise polymeric binder comprising at least one amphipathic copolymer comprising one or more S material portions and one or more D material portions. The S material portion of the amphipathic copolymer has an average Hildebrand solubility parameter of from about from about 16 MPa1/2 to about 17.3 MPa1/2, and comprises at least one non-sorptive component having an average Hildebrand solubility parameter that is at least about 0.4 MPa1/2 greater than the average Hildebrand solubility parameter of the S material portion. The resulting dry toner composition can exhibit excellent final image durability characteristics, and can also provide excellent images at low fusion temperatures on a final image receptor.
