Embodiment 1

[0332] In a reaction kettle including a thermometer and a stirrer, 100 parts of [Crystalline Resin 1] and 100 parts of ethyl acetate were placed, and the mixture was heated to a temperature of 50° C. and uniformly stirred to prepare [Resin Solution 1].

[0333] In a beaker, put 45 parts of [Resin Solution 1], 15 parts of [Crystalline Prepolymer 1], 14 parts of [Wax Dispersion 1] and 10 parts of [Color Dispersion 1], and pass through T.K.HOMO MIXER at 50°C and The mixture was stirred at 8,000 rpm until uniformly dissolved and dispersed, whereby [toner material liquid 1] was prepared.

[0334] In a beaker, uniformly dissolve 99 parts of ion-exchanged water, 6 parts of organic resin particles containing 25% by weight (adduct of ethylene oxide methacrylate for stable dispersion and styrene-methacrylate-butyl acrylate ester-sulfate sodium salt copolymer), 1 part of sodium carboxymethylcellulose and 10 parts of 48.5% sodium dodecyl diphenyl ether disulfonate (ELEMINOL MON-7, Sanyo C...

Embodiment 2

[0343] The preparation steps of [toner 1] in Example 1 were repeated to prepare [resin particles 2] and [toner 2], except that the pH of the alkalization process was changed from 11.0 to 12.0.

Embodiment 3

[0345] The preparation steps of [toner 1] in Example 1 were repeated to prepare [resin particles 3] and [toner 3], except that the pH of the alkalization process was changed from 11.0 to 10.0.

Abstract

A toner, including a crystalline resin as a binder resin, wherein the toner comprises a THF-soluble component in a weight-average molecular weight not less than 20,000, and has a 50% wettability not less than 20% by volume when subjected to a methanol wettability test.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a toner for imaging images using xerographic processes, such as in copiers, facsimile machines, printers, and the like. Background technique [0002] Recently, printers and MFPs employing electrophotographic image forming apparatuses have been required to consider the environment. For example, printers and MFPs reduce their power consumption to reduce CO 2 emissions, and the use of biomass materials to approach carbon neutrality. From this background, electrophotographic toners are required to lower their fixing temperature, and it is suggested that a binder resin used in the toner contains a crystalline resin that is rapidly dissolved by thermally fixing the toner. Further, even a crystalline resin is used as a main component of the binder resin. [0003] However, a toner employing a crystalline resin as a main component greatly varies in chargeability depending on the environment, and has insufficient fixability de...
