摘要:
A method of predicting a Lewis acid-base relative humidity (RH) ratio in a two-component developer comprised of at least a toner and a carrier including selecting a candidate toner, selecting a candidate carrier, and determining the Lewis acid and Lewis base constants for the candidate toner and candidate carrier. In addition, calculating the Lewis acid-base RH ratio wherein the calculated Lewis acid-base RH ratio is related to charge RH ratio.

A toner composition includes core particles including a polymeric latex and an optional colorant, and amino-containing polymer particles dispersed on an external surface of the particles.
摘要:
Toners made by the emulsion aggregation process comprising an amorphous resin and a nucleated crystalline resin. Such toners demonstrate improved charging performance in the A-zone and the C-zone, improved heat cohesion and improved resistivity.
摘要:
The present teachings describe an apparatus for mixing developer. The apparatus includes a first loader for dispensing a predetermined amount of toner particles into a container and a second loader for dispensing a predetermined amount and carrier particles in the container. A sealer seals the container. An acoustic mixer is provided for mixing the container, toner particles and carrier particles at a resonant frequency. A method of mixing developer is disclosed.
摘要:
The present disclosure provides carriers for use with toner compositions. In embodiments, a carrier may include a core, having a dry powder polymer coating. The polymer coating possesses a carbon to oxygen from about 3:1 to about 8:1. In embodiments, the coating may also include a colorant, such as carbon black. Processes for coating such carriers with the dry powder polymer coatings are also provided.

摘要:
Coated phosphorescent pigments are provided which may be utilized in toner compositions. In embodiments, the phosphorescent pigment may be coated by a powder coating process. The large pigment particles may be dry blended with dried resin latex particles, thereby coating the pigment surface, followed by heating and shearing in a rotary kiln or extruder to melt the toner resin and fuse it to the pigment surface. The resulting coated particles may be utilized with other toners, in embodiments color toners, to provide phosphorescent images.
摘要:
The present disclosure provides for enzymatic polymerization to produce polyester resins suitable for use in manufacturing toners. In embodiments, crystalline copolymers, which are polyesters, may be synthesized from lactones, cyclic anhydrides, cyclic carbonates, and combinations thereof. These crystalline copolymers, in turn, may be utilized in the synthesis of toner particles.
摘要:
A process for preparing a toner, includes solvent flashing wax and resin together to emulsify the resin and wax to a sub-micro size; mixing the wax and resin emulsion with a colorant, and optionally a coagulant to form a mixture; heating the mixture at a temperature below a glass transition temperature of the resin to aggregate the resin, colorant, and wax, to form aggregated particles; heating the aggregated particles and coalescent agent at a temperature above the glass transition temperature of said resin, to coalesce the aggregated particles to form toner particles, optionally cooling the mixture; and isolating the toner particles.
摘要:
Environmentally friendly toner particles are provided which may include a bio-based amorphous polyester resin, optionally in combination with another amorphous resin and/or a crystalline resin. Methods for providing these toners are also provided.
