Abstract:
The disclosure describes a process for making a polyester resin of defined acid value using a temperature-sensitive reaction and dipropylene glycol as a reagent.
Abstract:
A method for preparing toner particles is disclosed. In embodiments, a suitable method includes aggregating a mixture comprising at least one resin, an optional pigment and an optional wax to form aggregated particles, freezing aggregation of particles by adjusting the pH of the aggregated particles to a freezing aggregation pH; coalescing the aggregated particles to form toner particles at a first pH that is higher than the freezing aggregation pH; and recovering the toner particles.
Abstract:
A mixing process and system can include a plurality of magnetic particles within a fluid such as a liquid or solid to be mixed. The fluid to be mixed is dispensed within a mixing zone that may include a mixing tube. Two or more opposing electromagnets are independently activated out of sync to affect a travel path of the magnetic particles to form a turbulence within the fluid to provide an effective mixing of the fluid. The magnetic particles may be removed from the fluid, for example by filtering, or may remain within the fluid.
Abstract:
A method and system for magnetic actuated mixing which use magnetic particles and magnetic field to facilitate the mixing for preparing latex emulsion. In embodiments, a suitable process includes dissolving a resin in an organic solvent, optionally adding a surfactant, adding a neutralization agent and water, adding magnetic particles, and subjecting the mixture to a magnetic actuated mixing to form a latex emulsion. In embodiments, the latex emulsion thus produced may be utilized to form a toner.
Abstract:
A stretchable ink composition comprising a polyester; a polyurethane elastomer; water; a co-solvent; an optional surfactant; and an optional colorant.
Abstract:
The disclosure describes a process to produce toner with tunable gloss levels comprising a stabilizer to freeze particle growth following aggregation, where the stabilizer does not chelate metal ions.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a polyester toner resin comprising a polyhydroxylated cardanol derivative, that may be used in manufacturing an emulsion aggregation (EA) toner for imaging devices.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a polyester resin containing the polycondensation product of (a) at least one diacid, acid ester, or diester, and (b) at least two diols. The at least two diols include a disproportionated rosin diol and 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane. Also disclosed is a toner composition having particles which include the disclosed polyester resin. Further disclosed is a method of preparing the disclosed polyester resin, and a method of forming toner particles that includes the disclosed polyester resin.
Abstract:
The disclosure describes a pigment treated with a rosin and a toner particle containing that rosin-treated pigment particle. The toner has a lower level of dielectric loss.
