Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for producing a polymerized toner. In the method, a mixture of colloidal silica as an aqueous dispersant and a polyvinylpyrrolidone is used during suspension polymerization. The amount of polyvinylpyrrolidone/colloidal silica aggregates having a diameter smaller than 100 nm is also limited to 1% by weight or less, based on the total weight of all aggregates. A polymerized toner produced by the method has a volume average particle diameter (dv) of 5 to 10 μm and a volume average particle diameter/number average particle diameter ratio (dv/dp) of 1.5 or less. The polymerized toner is consumed in a small amount during printing. According to the method, the formation of emulsion particles having a size smaller than 0.5 μm is inhibited.

Abstract:
There is provided a toner having good charging characteristics that is composed of a core region and a thin shell in which a charge control agent is densely distributed so as to improve charging characteristics of the toner, and a method for manufacturing the same. The method for manufacturing a toner having a bi-layered structure includes: producing a toner core using a suspension polymerization method; preparing a suspension of toner particles having a core-shell structure by forming a rigid shell on a surface of the toner core; and recovering the toner particles from the suspension as a post-processing operation.

Abstract:
A polymerized toner is provided. The polymerized toner has cores containing polyvinylidene fluoride particles. The polyvinylidene fluoride particles have an average particle diameter of 1.1 to 1.5 μm and a melting temperature (Tm) of 140 to 160° C. The polyvinylidene fluoride particles are distributed at a higher concentration near the surface of the cores. This distribution improves the affinity of the cores for silica as an external additive to achieve an increased amount of surface charge and improved transfer efficiency of the polymerized toner. Further provided is a method of producing the polymerized toner.
Abstract:
A polymerized toner is provided. The polymerized toner has cores containing a wax with a polydispersity of 1.05 to 1.1. The fixability of the polymerized toner is improved by the presence of the wax. Further provided is a method of producing the polymerized toner.
Abstract:
A polymerized toner is provided. The polymerized toner comprises a reactive anionic surfactant having at least one reactive functional group. The reactive anionic surfactant is added simultaneously with a dispersant to prepare an aqueous dispersion or is added within 2 hour after a polymerization reaction of a monomer mixture is initiated in an aqueous dispersion. This simultaneous or rapid addition allows the reactive anionic surfactant to be dispersed on the surface of the toner particles. The reactive anionic surfactant is located over the entire surface of the toner particles to increase the surface charge density of the toner, achieving good charge stability and excellent imaging characteristics.
Abstract:
A method for producing a toner is provided. The method comprises the steps of (1) dispersing a water-soluble polyvinyl alcohol having a degree of polymerization of 1,500 to 2,500 and a degree of saponification of 75 to 98% in an aqueous medium to prepare an aqueous dispersion of the polyvinyl alcohol, (2) preparing a mixture of monomers, (3) mixing the aqueous dispersion with the monomer mixture, and (4) polymerizing the monomers.
