摘要:
The present disclosure provides processes for making inorganic or organic colorant dispersions using an acoustic mixer, where such dispersion may be used to make toner. Such processes apply low frequency, high intensity acoustic energy and a consistent shear field throughout an entire mixing vessel and provide uniform dispersion of colorants within minutes.

A method for preparing toner particles is disclosed. In embodiments, a suitable method includes aggregating a mixture comprising at least one resin, an optional pigment and an optional wax to form aggregated particles, freezing aggregation of particles by adjusting the pH of the aggregated particles to a freezing aggregation pH; coalescing the aggregated particles to form toner particles at a first pH that is higher than the freezing aggregation pH; and recovering the toner particles.
摘要:
A process includes dissolving a polyester resin in an organic solvent to form a solution, the polyester resin has a latex-destabilizing cation, removing substantially all of the latex-destabilizing cation, neutralizing the solution of the polyester resin, adding a sufficient amount of water to the neutralized solution form an emulsion, and removing a portion of the organic solvent from the emulsion to form a latex of the polyester resin.

A method for producing polyamide particles may include: mixing a mixture comprising a polyamide, a carrier fluid that is immiscible with the polyamide, and nanoparticles at a temperature greater than a melting point or softening temperature of the polyamide and at a shear rate sufficiently high to disperse the polyamide in the carrier fluid; cooling the mixture to below the melting point or softening temperature of the polyamide to form solidified particles comprising polyamide particles having a circularity of 0.90 or greater and that comprise the polyamide and the nanoparticles associated with an outer surface of the polyamide particles; and separating the solidified particles from the carrier fluid.
摘要:
Additive manufacturing processes featuring consolidation of thermoplastic particulates may form printed objects in a range of shapes. Inorganic nanoparticles disposed upon the outer surface of the thermoplastic particulates may improve flow performance of the thermoplastic particulates during additive manufacturing, but may be undesirable to incorporate in some printed objects. Polymer nanoparticles may be substituted for inorganic nanoparticles in some instances to address this difficulty and provide other advantages. Particulate compositions suitable for additive manufacturing may comprise: a plurality of thermoplastic particulates comprising a thermoplastic polymer and a plurality of polymer nanoparticles disposed upon an outer surface of the thermoplastic particulates, the polymer nanoparticles comprising a crosslinked fluorinated polymer.

Methods of using a toner as a printable adhesive are provided. In embodiments, a method of adhering substrates is provided which comprises disposing a cold pressure fix toner comprising a phase change material on a first substrate via xerography to form an unfused layer of the cold pressure fix toner on the first substrate; placing a second substrate on the unfused layer of the cold pressure fix toner; and subjecting the cold pressure fix toner to a pressure to form a bonded article comprising the first substrate, an adhesive layer formed from the cold pressure fix toner, and the second substrate. Methods of applying an adhesive to a substrate and bonded articles are also provided.

The disclosure provides pigment dispersions having an average particle size of from about 10 nm to about 500 nm prepared by employing a magnetic actuated milling process and system. In embodiments, the pigment dispersions have an average particle size of less than 100 nm.
摘要:
Cold pressure fix toner compositions include at least one crystalline polyester having a melting point in a range from about 30° C. to about 130° C., a rosin acid-based polyester resin and an amorphous polyester having a Tg higher than the rosin acid-based polyester. The crystalline polyester can have a melting point in a range from about 30° C. to about 130° C., the rosin acid-based polyester resin can have a Tg in a range from about 0° C. to about −45° C. and an amorphous polyester having a Tg in a range from about 40° C. to about 70° C. The temperature difference between the rosin acid-based polyester resin and the amorphous polyester resin can be in a range from about 30° C. to about 110° C.
