AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Silica powder exhibits hydrophilicity due to the presence of silanol groups on the surface, so it directly causes changes in the charge amount of the toner due to humidity, resulting in image defects
However, these toner external additives have problems such as being difficult to disperse and not showing fluidity immediately when tonerized
Furthermore, as the particle size of recent toners has been reduced from 10 μm to 7 μm, there is a problem that the fluidity of the toner is reduced. In order to improve this problem, the amount of external additives added to the toner is increased compared to the conventional Toner external additives have a large influence on the chargeability of toner

Embodiment 1

[0078] The BET specific surface area obtained by hydrolyzing silane at high temperature is 200m 2 / g, a primary particle size of 10nm, and a bulk density of 45g / L fumed silica are subjected to the following treatment methods. 200 g of fumed silica was charged into a high-speed mixer (volume 10 L), and operated at a rotation speed of 1,500 rpm. When the rotation is stable, 25 g of short-chain siloxane from which water and methanol have been removed from the hydrolyzate of dimethyldimethoxysilane as a hydrophobizing agent, 0.5 g of hexamethyldisilazane and 550g of methanol was mixed, and the bulk density of the obtained wet granulation was 352g / L. Next, the methanol component of the obtained wet granulated product was removed by a dryer to obtain a dry granulated product with a loose bulk density of 210 g / L. Next, 100 g of the dried granulated material was put into a 2 L flask, and heated at 250° C. for 2.5 hours. The bulk density of the toner external additive composed of the...

[0080] The BET specific surface area obtained by hydrolyzing silane at high temperature is 200m 2 / g, a primary particle size of 10nm, and a bulk density of 45g / L fumed silica are subjected to the following treatment methods. 200 g of fumed silica was charged into a high-speed mixer (volume 10 L), and operated at a rotation speed of 1,500 rpm. When the rotation was stable, 75 g of short-chain siloxane from which water and methanol were removed from the hydrolyzate of dimethyldimethoxysilane as a hydrophobizing agent was sprayed for 20 seconds, and then 300 g of pure water was sprayed for 60 seconds. The bulk density of the obtained wet granulated material was 362 g / L. Next, the obtained wet granulated product was dehydrated with a drier to obtain a dry granulated product having a loose bulk density of 198 g / L. Next, 100 g of the dried granulated material was put into a 2 L flask, and heated at 250° C. for 2.5 hours. The bulk density of the toner external additive composed o...

[0082] The BET specific surface area obtained by hydrolyzing silane at high temperature is 200m 2 / g, a primary particle size of 10nm, and a bulk density of 45g / L fumed silica are subjected to the following treatment methods. 200 g of fumed silica was charged into a high-speed mixer (volume 10 L), and operated at a rotation speed of 1,500 rpm. When the rotation is stable, 12 g of pure water is sprayed for 10 seconds. Then, a mixture obtained by mixing 32 g of hexamethyldisilazane and 450 g of methanol as a hydrophobizing agent was sprayed over 2 minutes. The bulk density of the obtained wet granulated material was 364 g / L. Next, methanol and water in the obtained wet granulated product were removed using a drier to obtain a dry granulated product with a bulk density of 220 g / L. Next, 100 g of the dried granulated material was put into a 2 L flask, and heated at 250° C. for 2.5 hours. The bulk density of the toner external additive composed of the obtained granulated silica...

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an electrostatic charge image developing toner external additive for developing electrostatic charge images in electrophotography, electrostatic recording, etc., a method for producing the same, and a toner using the external additive. Background technique [0002] Fine silica powder having a primary particle diameter of about several tens of nm is generally produced by a method called a wet method or a dry method. Wet silica is obtained by filtering, drying, pulverizing, and classifying silica precipitates produced by reacting sodium silicate and sulfuric acid. On the other hand, dry silica is obtained by high-temperature hydrolysis of tetrachlorosilane in the gas phase with an oxyhydrogen flame. [0003] In recent years, in toners for developing electrostatic images used in digital copiers and laser printers, toners have been mixed as external additives in order to improve their fluidity, prevent adhesion between ton...
