摘要:
A toner for developing an electrostatic image is formed of toner particles; wherein each toner particle includes (i) 100 wt. parts of a binder resin having a glass transition point (Tg) of 50-70° C., (ii) 0.2-20 wt. parts of solid wax, and (iii) colorant particles or magnetic powder; (iv) lubricant particles carrying a liquid lubricant, so that the toner particle retains at its surface the liquid lubricant gradually released from the particles (iv). The toner may be further blended with an organically treated inorganic fine powder to provide a developer. The toner or developer retains good lubricity and releasability so that it is suitable to be used in an image forming method including means contacting a latent image-bearing means, such as a contact charging means, a contact transfer means or a contact cleaning means.

A neutron-irradiated structural material having a defect in a nuclear reactor internals is repaired by covering the structural material to be repaired with a plate to cover over a portion thereof having the defect, and then welding the plate and the structural material by locally applying pressure on the surface of the plate and adding energy to the portion to which the pressure is applied thereby to generate thermal energy in the contact surfaces between the plate and the structural material.

A toner for developing an electrostatic image includes a binder resin, a colorant and a wax. The toner shows heat-absorption characteristics represented by a DSC heat-absorption curve obtained on temperature increase in a temperature range of 30-150.degree. C. by a differential scanning colorimeter (DSC). The DSC heat-absorption curve shows a maximum heat-absorption peak (P1) in a temperature range of 70-90.degree. C. The DSC curve also provides a differential curve showing a first maximum (Max1) on a lowest temperature side at a temperature (T1) of 50-65.degree. C., showing a second maximum (Max2) on a next lowest temperature side at a temperature (T2) of 65-85.degree. C., and showing a minimum (Min1) on a highest temperature side at a temperature (T3) of at least 95.degree. C. Because of the DSC heat-absorption characteristics, the toner exhibits excellent fixability (including anti-offset characteristic) over a wide temperature range and excellent continuous image forming characteristic.

A toner for developing electrostatic images is prepared from a binder resin and a hydrocarbon wax. The toner is provided with improved fixability and anti-offset characteristic by controlling the thermal characteristic of the hydrocarbon wax so as to provide a DSC (differential scanning calorimeter) curve, showing an onset temperature of heat absorption in the range of 50.degree.-110.degree. C. and at least one heat absorption peak P1 in the range of 70.degree.-130.degree. C. giving a peak temperature T.sub.P1 on temperature increase, and showing a maximum heat evolution peak temperature in the range of T.sub.P1 .+-.9.degree. C. on temperature decrease. Correspondingly, the toner provides a DSC curve showing a rising temperature of heat absorption of at least 80.degree. C., an onset temperature of heat absorption of at most 105.degree. C. and a heat absorption peak temperature in the range of 100.degree.-120.degree. C., respectively on temperature increase, and showing a heat evolution peak temperature in the range of 62.degree.-75.degree. C. and a heat evolution peak intensity ratio of at least 5.times.10.sup.-3 on temperature decrease.
