摘要:
A mixture of a colorant, and a binder compound having an aliphatic hydrocarbon long chain and having a relatively low melt viscosity, is kneaded in a molten state in the presence of solid media such as balls or beads to form a uniform mixture in which the colorant particles or aggregates have been disintegrated to a size of 5 .mu. or below. Solid particles which may be used as a toner are formed from the uniform mixture and may be encapsulated, as desired, to provide a capsule toner.
摘要:
A core material comprising a binder mixture of a long chain organic compound and an ester of a higher alcohol and a higher carboxylic acid is encapsulated with a thin shell material to give an encapsulated toner. The encapsulated toner has a uniform structure and a narrow particle size distribution and is excellent in developing and fixation characteristics, when used in electrophotography, etc.
摘要:
An encapsulated toner for development of electrical latent images comprises a core particle containing a colorant and a soft solid material, inorganic fine particles attached to the vicinity of the surface of the core particle, and a shell coating the core particle and the inorganic fine particles. The inorganic fine particles function to, e.g., reinforce the encapsulated toner with a thin shell and may be attached to the core particles through dry-mixing. The core particles with the attached inorganic particles may be coated with a shell resin through phase separation.
摘要:
A capsule toner, comprising core particles of a core material exhibiting a cloud point within the range of from 30 to 90 and a penetration within the range of from 2 to 15, and a shell material coating the core particles. The capsule toner is preferably formed by dispersing the core particles in solution of the shell material in a good solvent for the shell material, and then adding a poor solvent for the shell material to cause the deposition of the shell material on the core particles.
摘要:
A pressure-fixable capsule toner for electrophotography having characteristics such as good combination of fixability and durability and also a stable charge controlling characteristic is provided. The core materials typically are of polyethylene or paraffin wax. The shell material is a vinyl polymer characterized by low molecular weight distribution represented by a ratio of weight-average molecular weight/number average molecular weight of not larger than 3.5. The vinyl polymer is preferably a copolymer of styrene or a derivative thereof and a tertiary amino-group containing vinyl monomer.
摘要:
An encapsulated toner is provided by coating core particles with an outer shell. The outer shell comprises, as predominant components thereof, vinyl polymers A and B of different molecular weights. More specifically, the ratio of the number-average molecular weight of the vinyl polymer A (Mn.sub.A) to that of the vinyl polymer B (Mn.sub.B) is in the range of 2 to 15. The vinyl polymers A and B respectively have a ratio of weight-average molecular weight to number-average molecular weight of 5 or less. Because of these specific molecular weight characteristics of the shell-constituting polymers, the durability and triboelectric charging characteristics of the encapsulated toner are improved. These effects are enhanced particularly when inorganic fine particles are attached to embedded in the surface or surface layer of the core particles.
摘要:
A developing method, which comprises arranging a latent image-bearing member which bears a latent image on the surface and a toner-carrying member which carries an insulating non-magnetic toner at the developing section with a certain gap provided therebetween, coating the toner-carrying member with the insulating non-magnetic toner, conveying the resultant coated layer to the developing section while regulating the thickness thinner than said gap and developing the latent image on the latent image-bearing member under the application of an alternate electric field on the toner. Since the toner has a form of a microcapsule comprising a soft core material and a hard shell material and also contains a colorant in addition to the core material, adequate discharging can be effected during triboelectric charging to give an image with a constant density through stably charged state.
摘要:
A pressure-fixable toner comprising a combination of a compound A having a hydrocarbon chain and a compound B having an amino group in addition to a hydrocarbon chain is excellent in dispersibility of colorant, pressure fixing characteristic and developing characteristic. Further, an encapsulated pressure-fixable toner comprising a core of the pressure-fixable toner particles and a shell encapsulating the core is also excellent in these properties.
摘要:
A process for producing a toner, comprising the steps of suspending a molten mixture of starting materials of a binder containing a compound having a hydrocarbon chain and a colorant in an aqueous dispersing medium in the presence of a hardly water-soluble fine powdery inorganic dispersant, cooling the dispersed particles, and recovering the cooled particles.
摘要:
A developer is carried on a developer-carrying member and conveyed to a developing region to be used for developing an electrostatic latent image formed on an electrostatic latent image-bearing member. The developer includes a non-magnetic toner, and the toner includes toner particles containing 5-30 wt. % of a low-softening compound and having a shape factor SF-1 of 100-130. The developer-carrying member has a developer-carrying surface satisfying the conditions of: 0.2 .mu.m.ltoreq.Ra.ltoreq.5.0 .mu.m, 10 .mu.m.ltoreq.Sm.ltoreq.80 .mu.m, and 0.05 .ltoreq.Ra/Sm.ltoreq.0.5, wherein Ra denotes a center line-average roughness, and Sm denotes an average spacing between unevennesses. The toner shows good fixability and fluidity and is yet uniformly applied and conveyed to be used for developing because of the appropriate surface roughness of the developer-carrying member. The developed toner image can be transferred at a high transfer ratio.
