摘要:
A charging apparatus which comprises an electrophotographic photosensitive member and a charging member which comprises magnetic particles and placed in contact with the electrophotographic photosensitive member to charge the electrophotographic photosensitive member upon application of a voltage, wherein each magnetic particle has a surface layer containing a polyolefin resin of which weight average molecular weight is 10,000 or more, and has a volume resistivity of 1.times.10.sup.4 to 1.times.10.sup.11 .OMEGA.cm.

A toner for developing an electrostatic image, comprises a binder resin and a colorant. The toner has a glass transition temperature (Tg) of 65.degree. C. or lower. The binder resin comprises a styrene-acrylic copolymer formed from at least a styrenic monomer and a mixture of two or more acrylic monomers. The binder resin contains 10% by weight or more of THF insolubles. The amount of the styrenic monomer remaining in the toner is 0.005 part or less by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the binder resin component in the toner (50 ppm), and the amount of the acrylic monomers remaining in said toner is 0.001 part by weight based on 100 parts by weight or less of the binder resin component in the toner (10 ppm). At least one component of the mixture of acrylic monomers has a Q-value of 0.5 to less than 1.0 and the other has a Q-value of 0.3 to less than 0.5.This toner is excellent in the anti-off-set property to a fixing roller surface, good in fixability, giving high image density and little odor.
摘要:
A developer for developing electrostatic images is constituted by toner containing a binder resin and a charge controller. The charge controller comprises an arylurea compound which is an arylurea having at least one electron-attracting group or electron-donating group, or a polyarylurea including such an arylurea as a recurring unit. The arylurea compound is substantially colorless and can have stable but different levels of triboelectric chargeability depending on the substituents.
