Abstract:
A process for making a crystalline latex suitable for use in a toner by phase inversion emulsification (PIE) where when resin of particular acid number is neutralized to a certain degree, smaller sized resin particles are obtained reproducibly.
Abstract:
The present teachings describe a printhead assembly. The printhead assembly includes a first plate and a second plate stacked together. The printhead assembly includes a first adhesive between the first plate and the second plate for bonding the plates together. The printhead assembly includes a second adhesive surrounding an outer edge of the first adhesive wherein the second adhesive has an oxygen migration rate lower than an oxygen migration rate of the first adhesive. An oxygen sensitive component is contained within the outer edge of the first adhesive.
Abstract:
A process directed to emulsion polymerization (EP) methods for producing seed particles reproducibly independent of initiator amount and rate of introduction.
Abstract:
A method for forming an ink jet printhead comprises processing an epoxy adhesive such that negative effects from physical contact with particular inks are reduced or eliminated. Conventional adhesives processed using conventional techniques are known to gain weight and squeeze out when exposed to certain inks such as ultraviolet inks, solid inks, and aqueous inks. An embodiment of the present teachings can include processing of a particular adhesive such that the resulting epoxy adhesive is suitable for printhead applications.
Abstract:
A phase inversion emulsification process includes dissolving a polyester resin and a styrene/acrylate resin in an organic solvent to provide a solution, neutralizing the solution with a neutralizing agent, forming an emulsion by adding water after the neutralizing step and removing a portion of the organic solvent from the emulsion to provide a latex.
Abstract:
A process for making a crystalline latex suitable for use in a toner by phase inversion emulsification (PIE) where the liquid reagents, such as, organic solvent(s), neutralizing agent and water, are reused from a prior PIE.
Abstract:
A process includes dissolving a polyester resin in a mixture of a single organic solvent, a base and water to form a resin mixture; neutralizing the resin mixture with a neutralizing agent to provide a neutralized resin mixture; adding water to the neutralized resin mixture until phase inversion occurs to form a toner resin emulsion; removing the single solvent to form a polyester latex.
Abstract:
A process includes dissolving a styrene/acrylate resin in an organic solvent to form a first solution, dissolving at least one polyester resin in the first solution to form a second solution, neutralizing the second solution with a base to provide a neutralized solution, and adding a sufficient amount of water to the neutralized solution to form an emulsion. A latex particle includes a polyester resin and a styrene/acrylate resin dispersed within the latex particle, the surface of the latex particle is substantially the polyester resin. A toner includes a plurality of toner particles prepared from a latex, the particles of the latex including a polyester resin and a styrene/acrylate resin dispersed within each latex particle, the surface of each latex particle is substantially the polyester resin.
Abstract:
A process for making a crystalline latex emulsion suitable for use in toner using phase invention emulsification (PIE) where solvent is reused is presented.
Abstract:
The disclosure provides a solvent system for dissolving an epoxy adhesive such as I2300L epoxy adhesive. The solvent system includes a dialkyl ether solvent and an alkyl alcohol solvent. The disclosure also provides methods for preparing a uniform thin film deposit of an epoxy adhesive for printhead interstitial bonding during their fabrication.
