摘要:
A toner including a colorant, a thermoplastic resin (a) comprising an amorphous polyester resin having a main chain having a polyhydroxycarboxylic acid skeleton, and a thermoplastic resin (b) is provided. The toner is manufactured by a method including mixing the colorant with the thermoplastic resin (a) to prepare a preliminary mixture, and mixing the preliminary mixture with the thermoplastic resin (b).

Provided are conductive diamond particles including: particulate bases; and boron-doped diamond films on at least part of surfaces of the particulate bases, wherein an average particle diameter of the conductive diamond particles is greater than 0.5 micrometers, and wherein in Raman spectrum measurement of the conductive diamond particles at an excitation wavelength of 532 micrometers, a ratio of an intensity of the conductive diamond particles at 1,580 cm−1 to an intensity of the conductive diamond particles at 1,332 cm−1 is less than 0.090.
摘要:
A toner that is excellent in low-temperature fixing property, offset resistance, storage stability, charge rising property, charge stability with time and pulverizability and allows for forming high-quality images over a long period of time. The toner contains at least a binder resin, a colorant and a charge controlling agent, wherein the charge controlling agent contains an aromatic oxycarboxylic acid metal compound having a trivalent or more central metal, the binder resin comprises a polyester resin (A) having a softening point Tm (A) of 120° C. to 160° C. and a polyester resin (B) having a softening point Tm (B) of 80° C. to less than 120° C., and at least any one of the polyester resins (A) and (B) contains 1,2-propane diol at 65 mol % or more in a divalent alcohol component and can be obtained by condensation polymerizing an alcohol component substantially composed of only an aliphatic alcohol with a carboxylic acid component.
摘要:
The present invention provides a toner which, despite its spherical shape, makes it possible to prevent an external additive from being embedded in the toner easily or by a load generating low stress, reduce variation in image density, maintain cleaning ability and transfer ability throughout its long-term use and obtain excellent image quality, and further, provides a two-component developer, an image forming method and an image forming apparatus with the use of the toner. There is a toner including: base particles including a colorant and a resin, and hard fine particles, wherein the base particles and the hard fine particles are mixed together, and protruding portions formed of fine organic resin particles which are different in composition from a resin contained as a main component in the base particles are provided on surfaces of the base particles.
