preparation example Construction

[0037] (A-1) Preparation process of polymerizable monomer composition

[0038] First, a polymerizable monomer composition is prepared by mixing a polymerizable monomer, a colorant, a charge control resin, a softener, and if necessary, other additives such as a fixing aid. When preparing the polymerizable monomer composition, mixing is performed using, for example, a media type disperser.

[0039] In the present invention, a polymerizable monomer refers to a monomer having a polymerizable functional group, and the polymerizable monomer is polymerized to form a binder resin. As the main component of the polymerizable monomer, a monovinyl monomer is preferably used. Examples of monovinyl monomers include styrene; styrene derivatives such as vinyltoluene and α-methylstyrene; acrylic acid and methacrylic acid; methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, propyl acrylate, acrylic acid Acrylates such as butyl, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, and dimethylaminoethyl acrylate; methyl methacrylate, ethyl m...

Abstract

Provided is a toner for the development of electrostatic images and a method for manufacturing the same, the toner having excellent printing durability in a high-temperature, high-humidity environment, and excellent transfer-amount stability on a developing roller. The toner for developing electrostatic images comprises: colored resin particles containing a binder resin, a colorant, a charge control resin, and a softener; and an external additive. The toner for developing electrostatic images is characterized in that the charge control resin is a copolymer having a composition containing a methyl methacrylate monomer unit at a content ratio of 85.0 to 99.7 mass%, a quaternary ammonium salt-containing (meth)acrylate monomer unit at a content ratio of 0.3 to 15.0 mass%, and a vinyl monomer unit other than the methyl methacrylate monomer unit and the quaternary ammonium salt-containing (meth)acrylate monomer unit at a content ratio of 0 to 14.7 mass%, wherein the charge control resin is contained in an amount of 0.2 to 4.0 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the binder resin.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a toner for electrostatic image development that can be used for image development in image forming apparatuses using electrophotography, such as copiers, facsimile machines, and printers, and a method for producing the same. Background technique [0002] In recent years, laser printers and copiers using electrophotography have been expected to increase their speed and life, and toners that have both high charging stability and durability are required. [0003] In a method of forming an image by electrophotography, electrostatic printing, etc., charged toner particles constitute an electrostatic latent image developed on the drum by electrostatic force corresponding to a potential difference on the photosensitive drum. At this time, charging of the toner is specifically caused by friction between the toner and the toner, or between the toner and the carrier, and furthermore, between the toner and the regulating blade. ...
