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:
The present disclosure provides a polyester toner resin comprising gallic acid for use in manufacturing an emulsion aggregation (EA) toner for imaging devices.
Abstract:
Disclosed are processes for the preparation of rosin diols accomplished by the reaction of a rosin acid with a glycerine carbonate in the presence of a catalyst, and subsequently where the rosin diol can be reacted with a diacid to generate an amorphous polyester resin.
Abstract:
The disclosure describes a one reactor process for making a bio-based polyester resin. The resultant polyester resin retains thermal properties as compared to a similar resin but made using previous multi-step processes conducted in separate vessels.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a polyester toner resin comprising gallic acid for use in manufacturing an emulsion aggregation (EA) toner for imaging devices.
Abstract:
A method and system for magnetic actuated mixing which use magnetic particles and electromagnetic field to facilitate the mixing. The method and system use magnetic particles and a generated electromagnetic field to facilitate the milling as well. The method and system can be used in any application that requires the preparation of small-sized particles at either the micro or nano scale, including for example, preparing toners, inks, wax, pigment dispersions and the like.
Abstract:
Toner particles are provided which may include a core and a shell, one or both of which may include a polyester gel. The gel in the shell and/or core may prevent a crystalline resin in the core from migrating to the toner surface.
Abstract:
The disclosure describes an emulsion aggregation toner process wherein aspartic acid derivatives are employed as chelating agents. Also disclosed is a process for preparing toner using aspartic acid derivatives to freeze/stop toner particle growth where coalescence occurs following acidification of the reaction mixture.
