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:
A stretchable ink composition comprising a polyester; a polyurethane elastomer; water; a co-solvent; an optional surfactant; and an optional colorant.
Abstract:
A sustainable material suitable for three-dimensional printing is disclosed. The sustainable material comprises a resin derived from a bio-based diacid monomer and a bio-based glycol monomer. The resulting sustainable material provides a much more robust 3-D printing material with different properties than conventional materials.
Abstract:
A polyesteramide for use in 3D printing includes about 1 to about 30 mole percent of a diamine monomer unit, a diol monomer unit, and a terephthalate monomer unit, the polyesteramide having a glass transition temperature (Tg) in a range from about 50° C. to about 95° C.

Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a resin made with no more than 6 mol % of a rosin or a rosin derivative combined with a lower molecular weight crystalline polyester resin in a toner with low fixing temperature and higher blocking temperature.
Abstract:
A cold pressure fix toner composition includes at least one crystalline polyester material having a melting point in a range from about 30° C. to about 130° C. and at least one C16 to C80 amorphous organic material having a Tg of from about −30° C. to about 70° C. A method of cold pressure fix toner application includes providing the cold pressure fix toner composition, disposing the cold pressure fix toner composition on a substrate, and applying pressure to the disposed composition on the substrate under cold pressure fixing conditions. A latex can be formed from the cold pressure fix toner composition.
Abstract:
A siloxane-containing ink composition for variable data lithographic printing includes a nano-particle polymer or blend of nano-particle polymers, wherein the polymer or polymers of the blend are water dispersible at temperatures below 100 degrees Celsius; and solids content is in an amount of greater than 25 percent by total weight.
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:
A toner includes a polymeric resin, a colorant, and a small molecule crystalline aromatic monoester having a molecular weight less than 1,000 g/mol. The polymeric resin may be an amorphous resin and a mixture of the amorphous resin and the crystalline aromatic monoester may be characterized by a reduction in glass transition temperature from that of the resin and by the lack of a melting point for the crystalline aromatic monoester as determined by differential scanning calorimetry, the enthalpy of fusion for the crystalline aromatic monoester in the mixture being measured to be less than 10% of the enthalpy of fusion of the crystalline aromatic monoester in pure form. Furthermore, the toner may be configured to have a crease fix minimum fusing temperature (MFT) less than or equal to the crease fix MFT of a benchmark ultra-low-melt emulsion aggregation toner. Suitable crystalline aromatic monoesters may include 2-Naphthyl benzoate.
