摘要:
A toner composition including toner particles that have a resin, an optional wax, and an optional colorant; and a surface additive at least partially coating toner particle surfaces. The surface additive includes a mixture of a hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) surface treated silica, a sol-gel silica that is not surface treated, and a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) surface treated silica.
摘要:
Toner particles include a shell and a core, wherein the shell includes charge control agent-treated spacer particles that cause protrusions from the toner particle surface.
摘要:
A toner composition with a novel surface additive package for developing images. The additive package includes sol-gel silica, a PDMS silica, an organic spacer such as PMMA and two HMDS silicas. The toner composition exhibits improved control of voltage, higher print density, lower toner amount remaining on the roll, lower toner usage, and reduced drum contamination. The toner composition also exhibits improved dry rheological properties and improved fix properties. These improved properties make this toner composition useful for higher speed printing while using less toner.
摘要:
A system, method and device for measuring toner performance by randomly applying a toner sample having toner particles to a substrate, and positioning the substrate such that a force may be applied to individual particles of the measuring toner. A rolling resistance or rotation of the individual particles of the measuring toner is measured. The measurements may be analyzed to determine adhesion and distribution properties of individual toner particles of the measuring toner sample.
摘要:
The present disclosure provides processes for reducing the particle size of latex resins and toners produced with such resins. In embodiments, a carboxylic acid may be added to materials utilized to produce a latex and reduce the particle size of the resulting latex particles and toner particles. In accordance with the present disclosure, one may be able to utilize materials for the production of latex resins and toners which may otherwise produce particles that are too large in the absence of the carboxylic acid.
摘要:
A process for the preparation of ink compositions comprising the emulsion polymerization of monomer, water, surfactant, and initiator with stirring and heating to provide a latex; mixing therewith a pigment dispersion of pigment particles, water, and cationic surfactant; blending the mixture; thereafter stirring the mixture; and subsequently adding additional anionic surfactant to stabilize the aggregate particles.

A process for the preparation of a latex comprising the polymerization of monomer in the presence of a chain transfer component, an initiator, a diphenyloxide disulfonate, and an optional nonionic surfactant.
摘要:
A toner comprised of pigment, and an addition polymer resin generated from about 55 to about 80 weight percent of styrene, from about 1 to about 25 weight percent of acrylate, from about 1 to about 20 weight percent of acrylonitrile, and from about 0.5 to about 5 weight percent of acrylic acid.
摘要:
A process for the preparation of toner compositions comprising (i) preparing a pigment dispersion in water, which dispersion is comprised of a pigment, an ionic surfactant, and optionally a charge control agent;(ii) shearing said pigment dispersion with an aqueous latex or emulsion blend comprised of a nonionic surfactant, resin, and a counterionic surfactant with a charge polarity of opposite sign to that of said ionic surfactant;(iii) heating the above sheared blend below about the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the resin to form electrostatically bound toner size aggregates with a narrow particle size distribution;(iv) heating the electrostatically bound aggregates above about the Tg of the resin, which heating is accomplished at a pH of from about 4.0 to about 6.0 while continuously stirring the electrostatically bound aggregates to form toner particles;(v) washing the toner particles with a basic aqueous solution, which solution is of a pH of from between about 10.0 and about 12.0; and thereafter optionally(iv) separating the toner particles from the emulsion blend containing water by filtration and then drying the toner particles.
