Abstract:
Exemplary embodiments provide compositions for erasable media and methods of forming polymers for erasable media. The method can include providing a first monomer, the first monomer including one or more alkoxylated bisphenols and adding at least one second monomer and a catalyst to the first monomer to form a mixture at a first temperature, the second monomer selected from the group consisting of an organic diacid, a dialkyl ester of the organic diacid, and combinations thereof. The method can also include melt condensing the mixture by increasing the temperature from the first temperature to a second temperature over a first amount of time to form one or more polymers, wherein the one or more polymers has an acid value in the range of about 0.1 mg-KOH to about 12 mg-KOH.
Abstract:
Environmentally friendly toner particles are provided which may, in embodiments, include a bio-based amorphous polyester resin, optionally in combination with another amorphous resin and/or a crystalline resin. Toner particles may, in embodiments, have a core-shell configuration, with the shell formed of the bio-based amorphous polyester resin, the amorphous polyester resin, the crystalline polyester resin, or combinations thereof.
Abstract:
A toner composition includes a reactive resin substantially free of cross linking, a wax, and a colorant. The reactive resin can include reactive epoxy and carboxylic acid functional groups.
Abstract:
An ink composition includes a colorant, a polymer latex such as a terpolymer latex, an optional dissipatable polymer, a dispersant such as a sulfonated polyester, and a liquid vehicle such as water. The ink composition is a stable liquid at ambient temperature, but becomes a gel upon heating or removal of part of the liquid vehicle.
Abstract:
A toner composition comprised of a crosslinked thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer, a branched liquid crystalline polymer, or mixtures thereof.
Abstract:
An encapsulated toner composition comprised of a core of a resin binder, pigment, dye, or mixtures thereof, and a polymeric shell containing a polyether component.
Abstract:
A toner composition comprised of a crosslinked thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer, a branched liquid crystalline polymer, or mixtures thereof.
Abstract:
Thermotropic liquid crystalline polymers represented by the formulas as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 wherein m,n and o represent the number of monomer segments present; and x,y and z are independently selected form the group consisting of alkyl, substituted alkyl, alkylene, and substituted alkylene.
Abstract:
A curable phase change ink composition that includes an ink vehicle including at least one isosorbide monomer having at least one functional group. Also described is an ink printing device that includes a curable phase change ink composition for printing onto a substrate, an ink jetting device, and a curing device providing radiation that cures the curable phase change ink composition. The curable phase change ink composition of the ink printing device includes an ink vehicle including at least one isosorbide monomer having at least one functional group.
