Problems solved by technology

[0008] However, the styrene-diene-based block copolymer cannot be uniformly dispersed in the main resin, so there is a problem that thermal offset occurs, and in addition, there is a problem that the crease fixability is low, that is, the obtained fixation The image is brittle, so when the fixed image is folded, the fixed image at the crease is easily broken and peeled off
[0009] In addition, as a technique for simultaneously improving the low-temperature fixability and heat-resistant storage properties of toners, toners made of toner particles having a core-shell structure have been proposed. On the basis of heat-resistant storage, a certain degree of low-temperature fixability is obtained, but there is a problem of low crease fixability
[0010] In addition, as a technique for achieving both low-temperature fixability and page sticking resistance, Patent Document 3 discloses a toner in which a rubber-like substance obtained by crosslinking raw rubber is used as a binder resin. Sufficient low-temperature fixability cannot be obtained for the toner

preparation example 1

[0166] In the reaction container equipped with stirring device, temperature sensor, cooling pipe, nitrogen introduction device, add 8 mass parts of sodium lauryl sulfate and 3000 mass parts of ion-exchanged water, stir with the stirring speed of 230rpm under nitrogen flow, simultaneously will The temperature rose to 80°C. After temperature rise, the polymerization initiator solution which melt|dissolved 10 mass parts of potassium persulfates in 200 mass parts of ion-exchanged water was added, and liquid temperature was adjusted to 80 degreeC.

[0179] The following raw materials were added to the heat-dried three-necked flask, and then refluxed at 180° C. for 5 hours by mechanical stirring in an inert gas atmosphere of nitrogen. Then, the water generated in the reaction system was removed by distillation under reduced pressure, and the temperature was raised to 240°C. The dehydration condensation reaction was continued at 240° C. for 3 hours, and then the molecular weight was measured by GPC (gel permeation chromatography). When the weight average molecular weight was 27,000, the vacuum distillation was stopped to obtain a polyester resin.

Abstract

The present invention provides a toner which enable to form a high quality image with achieving low-temperature fixability, high heat-resistant storage property and high blocking resistance, and moreover, achieving excellent hot off-set resistant property and high fold fixability. The electrostatic image developing toner is made of tonner particles containing a binder resin having a domain-matrixstructure and a colorant; wherein the toner particles have a volume-based median diameter of 4.3 to 7.0 [mu]m; a domain phase in the binder resin contains a polymer containing a structure unit derived from a diene monomer, the domain phase has a Feret diameter of 50 to 300 nm; and a glass transition temperature of the polymer composing the domain phase is -85 to +35 DEG C.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a toner for developing an electrostatic image (hereinafter also simply referred to as "toner") for forming an electrophotographic image. Background technique [0002] In recent years, from the viewpoint of preventing global warming, energy conservation has been studied in various fields, and information equipment such as image forming devices has also been researched to save power during standby, so that it can be used with low energy. On the one hand, research has also been carried out in the fusing process, which consumes the most energy, in order to reduce the fusing temperature. [0003] Generally, if a toner design is applied to low-temperature fixing, the sticking resistance and heat-resistant storage performance will deteriorate. In order to achieve both low-temperature fixing and sticking resistance, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses a method for forming A toner for an electrophotographic image, wherein ...
