摘要:
Derivatives of diiminoquinilidines are useful as electron transport agents in electrophotography. The diiminoquinilidine derivatives are inexpensive materials, requiring only two steps to synthesize, have excellent solubility and compatibility with most binders due to the presence of long alkyl chains, and evidence high electron mobility.

An inverse dual-layer organic photoconductor comprising a charge generation layer (CGL) formed on top of a charge transport layer (CTL), in turn formed on a substrate such as a web (drum) or subbing layer, is disclosed, in which the CGL includes a flexible polymer having a glass transition temperature (T.sub.g) of less than about 120.degree. C. as the binder for a charge generation species and in which the CTL includes a rigid polymer having a T.sub.g of greater than about 120.degree. C. as the binder for a charge transport species. The CTL is coated onto the substrate, using a non-chlorinated solvent. The CGL is coated onto the CTL, also using a non-chlorinated solvent, under conditions so as to form a diffused region at the boundary of the CGL and CTL. This type of photoconductor yields extremely low noise, exceptionally high-speed and excellent stable charging/discharging performance in the xerography process at room temperature and elevated temperature.

Copolymers and methods using the copolymers control the stability, the homogeneity of mixtures and the chargeability of a nanoparticle. A block copolymer-nanoparticle composition includes first, second and third block units that each include repeating units of respective monomers. The monomer of the first block unit includes a binding group that binds to the nanoparticle. The monomer of the second block unit includes a hydrophobic moiety that provides steric stabilization of the nanoparticle and homogeneity of mixtures of the copolymer-nanoparticle composition in a non-polar medium. The monomer of the third block unit includes a chargeable group that imparts a charge to the nanoparticle. An order of the respective block units in the copolymer and the number of repeating units of the monomer in the respective block units control the stability, the homogeneity of mixtures and the charge of the nanoparticle.

Liquid electrophotographic ink concentrates and methods of preparing the same are disclosed herein. An example of the method includes preparing a mixture of ink components using a first predetermined thermal profile. The ink components include a resin, a pigment, and a carrier. The method further includes preparing a microfluidizer with a composition at a temperature within a predetermined range and processing the mixture in the prepared microfluidizer to form the concentrate. Processing the mixture includes pressure-feeding the mixture into the prepared microfluidizer, passing the mixture through the prepared microfluidizer for a predetermined number of times, and utilizing a second predetermined thermal profile while passing the mixture through the prepared microfluidizer. A viscosity modifier is added to the mixture before and/or during the processing of the mixture.
摘要:
A method for forming a functionalized latex polymer includes polymerizing a heterogeneous dispersion of water insoluble monomers in water, thereby forming a latex polymer. An at least partially water soluble halogenated non-ionic group is reacted with the latex polymer, whereby a halogen is displaced from the non-ionic group, thereby forming an at least partially water soluble non-ionic group that attaches to the latex polymer.

A process for removing ink from a printed media substrate. Such process includes the step of providing a media substrate including an ink printed image wherein the ink composition or the media substrate contains photolabile entities. Then the process includes the step of applying UV light on the printed substrate wherein the emitted UV light has a wavelength value which is below the threshold wavelength of the photolabile entities.

A water-soluble phthalocyanine dye or naphthalocyanine dye with near-infrared absorption comprises at least one complexed unit. Each unit comprises a phthalocyanine or a naphthalocyanine moiety and, optionally, a metal atom complexed thereto and, if present, having a valency of from 1 to 5, with two valencies complexed to the phthalocynanine ring or the naphthalocyanine ring. Each unit has two linker moieties on opposite sides or adjacent sides of the unit, wherein water-soluble groups are present on at least one of the linkers, on the metal atom, and optionally on the phthalocyanine or naphthalocyanine moiety.
