Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a toner composition, developer and additive for a toner composition. The toner composition includes toner particles having at least one resin, an optional colorant, an optional wax, and a crosslinked polymer particle on at least a portion of an external surface of the toner particles. The crosslinked polymeric particle on a surface of the toner particles includes at least a hydrophobic monomer comprising a non-fluorinated monomer having a carbon to oxygen (C/O) ratio of 3 or greater or a fluorinated monomer. The crosslinked polymer particle includes a second monomer comprising two or more vinyl groups present in an amount from about 8 wt % to about 40 wt % of the copolymer, a metal oxide and optionally a charge control agent monomer.
Abstract:
An organic polymeric particle including an optional first monomer comprising a hydrophobic monomer; a second monomer comprising two or more vinyl groups; an optional third monomer comprising an amine; and a vinyl siloxane polymerizable monomer.
Abstract:
A polymeric composition including a copolymer comprising a first monomer having a high carbon to oxygen ratio of from about 3 to about 8; a second monomer comprising two or more vinyl groups, wherein the second monomer is present in the copolymer in an amount of from greater than about 8 percent by weight to about 40 percent by weight, based on the weight of the copolymer; and optionally, a third monomer comprising an amine, wherein the third monomer is present in an amount of from about 0.1 percent by weight to about 1.5 percent by weight, based on the weight of the copolymer; and a surfactant, wherein the surfactant has a minimum surface tension at critical micelle concentration of less than about 30 mN/m. A toner including the copolymer as a toner surface additive. An emulsion aggregation toner process including the copolymer as a toner surface additive.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides processes for producing images with toner particles. In embodiments, toner particles of a certain diameter in size are applied to a substrate as an incomplete monolayer, and then fused to form an image that is a complete monolayer and possesses a thickness less than the diameter of the particles utilized to form the image.
Abstract:
A composition formed from ingredients comprising: an epoxy; a polyvinyl phenol; a cross-linking agent; an epoxy silane; and a solvent is disclosed. A printable medium and other devices made from the composition are also disclosed.
Abstract:
Methods for lubricating an imaging member include applying lubricant-containing capsules to the surface of the imaging member via a non-contact applicator. The capsules are applied upstream of a cleaning blade after image transfer to another substrate, such that the cleaning blade ruptures the capsules, thereby releasing the lubricant contained therein.
Abstract:
Transistors comprising semiconducting layers of diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) copolymers are disclosed. Processes for purifying DPP copolymers are also disclosed. An organic phase containing the DPP copolymer is treated with an aqueous ammonia solution and then with a palladium scavenger. The DPP copolymer is then isolated, and has a very low palladium content. The resulting DPP copolymer has high mobility.
Abstract:
The disclosure describes a one reactor process for making a bio-based polyester resin and the polyester polymer thereof The bio-based polymer is the product of a condensation reaction of (a) a rosin diol, (b) neopentyl glycol, (c) succinic acid, (d) an aromatic dicarboxylic acid and (e) dipropylene glycol or tripropvlene glycol, wherein the rosin diol is a reaction product between a rosin acid and a cyclic alkylene glycol and comprises only one rosin moiety. The resultant polyester resin retains thermal properties as compared to a similar resin but made using previous multi-step processes conducted in separate vessels.
Abstract:
A method of forming toner particles includes aggregating a mixture of a latex, a wax, and an optional pigment to form pre-toner particles, and coalescing the pre-toner particles at a substantially constant target temperature selected within a range from about the glass transition temperature of the pre-toner particles to about 75° C., thereby creating toner particles having a substantially constant particle size distribution during the coalescing step.
