摘要:
A method of forming an aqueous dispersion of particles of zinc stearate includes the steps of forming a mixture of at least one surfactant and water, heating the mixture to a temperature of from about 40° C. to less than a melting temperature of zinc stearate, adding a metal-containing stearate to the mixture under agitation, adding to the mixture a solution of a zinc salt in water, whereby upon inclusion of both the metal-containing stearate and the zinc salt in the mixture, the zinc salt reacts with the metal-containing stearate to form the particles of zinc stearate, continuing the heating and agitation following completion of the latter of the adding of the solution of zinc salt or the adding of the metal-containing stearate to continue the reaction, and cooling to obtain the aqueous dispersion of particles of zinc stearate. The method forms a stable aqueous dispersion of nanometer sized zinc stearate particles particularly useful in coating toner particles.

Disclosed is a toner comprising particles of a vinyl resin, an optional colorant, and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxypyrrole), wherein said toner particles are prepared by an emulsion aggregation process. Another embodiment of the present invention is directed to a process which comprises (a) generating an electrostatic latent image on an imaging member, and (b) developing the latent image by contacting the imaging member with charged toner particles comprising a vinyl resin, an optional colorant, and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxypyrrole), wherein said toner particles are prepared by an emulsion aggregation process.
摘要:
A process for making silica-containing latex particles involves polymerizing monomer in an emulsion comprising the monomer, water, silica particles, and optionally at least one surfactant, by adding at least one free radical initiator to the emulsion to form the silica-containing latex particles. In a preferred method, semicontinuous polymerization employing a seed latex is used to form the latex resin. The process achieves a silica-containing latex in which the silica is chemically incorporated therein that is ideally suited for use in the manufacture of toner and developer for xerographic use.
摘要:
Conductive polymeric particles can be formed by mixing a monomer, carbon black and a block copolymer, wherein the block copolymer contains an A block that is miscible with said monomer and a B block that anchors to the surface of the carbon black, such as polystyrene or a derivative of polystyrene. A polymerization initiator is added to the mixture and bulk polymerization is effected until about 5 to about 30 weight percent of the monomer has been polymerized. This partially polymerized product is then dispersed in water and further polymerized.
