Description

Application and the application process of silicon-titanium composite particles in cellular shell nuclear toner
Technical field
The invention belongs to the toner technical field, relate to the silicon-application of titanium composite particles in toner, more specifically, relate to application and the application process of silicon-titanium composite particles in cellular shell nuclear toner.
Background technology
Toner is used in xerox or prints forming electrostatic latent image, its with the height of static electric weight and carried charge distribute and not only can directly affect the toner-particle concentration that forms image, and then affect the quality of output image, and can affect the utilization factor of toner.The variation of toner environment for use (being mainly humidity changes) is the key factor that directly affects the toner electric weight.Therefore, in order to guarantee the stable of output image quality, improve the utilization factor of toner, the environmental stability that strengthens toner is extremely important.In general, the difference of toner average friction carried charge Q/m under high humidity and low humidity condition is less thinks that namely its environmental stability is better.
The Facing material of cellular shell nuclear toner (hereinafter to be referred as shell nuclear toner) is mainly resin, the easy hydroscopicity residue such as the polymer monomer of unavoidable remaining trace, solvent, emulsifying agent in the resin building-up process, and the surface of polyester resin is also with hydrophilic radicals such as great amount of hydroxy group, carboxyls.Above factor all makes shell nuclear toner be subject to environmental change, the especially impact of ambient humidity variation.Owing to easily be combined with aqueous vapor, the type toner triboelectric charge of being with in print procedure is easily revealed, and causes various print quality defectives or the reduction of toner transferring rate etc.
At present the method for common raising toner electric weight stability has: in the toner granulation process, add charge control agent (CCA), charge control resin (CCR), after sneak out and add special external additive etc. in the journey.But because making the method, technique, equipment of toner base particle etc., each producer is not quite similar, select suitable CCA or CCR very difficult, even sometimes find suitable CCA or CCR, but only use CCA and/or CCR also often can not reach desirable effect, need plurality of stable electric charge means to cooperatively interact and just can reach preferably effect.By after sneak out Cheng Tigao toner charge stability method comprise: (1) makes toner have certain frictional electrification level and suitable flowability with the strong silicon dioxide of hydrophobicity separately in toner; (2) use the low titania of resistivity or aluminium oxide as external additive in conjunction with silicon dioxide, thereby improve the electric weight stability of toner.But, behind toner, use separately silicon dioxide to be difficult to realize suitable specific insulation in the mixed step.And when improving electric weight stability with titania and/or aluminium oxide in shell nuclear toner, also normal so that shell nuclear toner carried charge is totally on the low side because the two resistivity is less though it can make shell nuclear toner electric weight stable, the electric weight distribution is wide.During in particular for the polyesters toner, the use amount of adjusting titania and/or aluminium oxide is difficult to reach balance between carried charge level and carried charge stability.In addition, because the primary particle diameter of toner external additive mostly is nano level, and nano titanium oxide very easily forms the larger agglomerate of volume, and when using it in the toner, this agglomerate is difficult to be attached to equably shell nuclear toner surface.
Summary of the invention
The technical problem to be solved in the present invention is, for separately being difficult to realize suitable specific insulation, being difficult between carried charge level and carried charge stability, to reach the problem that balance and titania easily form the larger agglomerate of volume and is difficult to evenly be attached to shell nuclear toner surface when coming the regulating resistance rate with titania and/or aluminium oxide with silicon dioxide in the prior art, provide a kind of silicon-titanium composite particles to examine application and application process in the toner at cellular shell.Silicon-titanium composite particles skin is silicon dioxide, and kernel is titania.Because when being exposed in the air, titanium dioxide is many than the oh group of silicon oxide surface, easier absorption aqueous vapor.Adopt the structure of silicon bag titanium, can reduce the oh group quantity of this microparticle surfaces, reduce degree of water wettability, and then stablize its resistivity.The application of this composite particles can make shell nuclear toner surface have suitable carried charge, improve its environmental stability, and the agglomerate quantity that silicon-titanium composite particles forms is few and volume is little, can evenly be attached to shell nuclear toner surface.
The technical problem to be solved in the present invention is achieved by the following technical programs: the application of silicon-titanium composite particles in cellular shell nuclear toner is provided.
In the application of above-mentioned silicon-titanium composite particles in cellular shell nuclear toner, described silicon-titanium composite particles is the silicon-titanium composite particles of core-shell structure, and wherein said silicon-titanium composite particles is take titania as nuclear, take silicon dioxide as shell.

In the application of above-mentioned silicon-titanium composite particles in cellular shell nuclear toner, in described silicon-titanium composite particles, the shared mass percent of described silicon dioxide and described titania is respectively 5-95% and 95-5%.
According to a further aspect in the invention, provide the application process of silicon-titanium composite particles in cellular shell nuclear toner, wherein, said method comprising the steps of:
S1: add small particle diameter silicon dioxide in the cellular shell nuclear toner base particle of drying and stir, form the cellular shell nuclear toner of the first modification;
S2: add described silicon-titanium composite particles in the cellular shell nuclear toner of the first modification of step S1 and stir, form the cellular shell nuclear toner of the second modification.
The small particle diameter silicon dioxide that adds among the step S1 evenly is coated on shell nuclear toner surface and is half embedding state.This step both can strengthen shell nuclear toner flowability, increase carried charge, can so that the exposed aerial surface area of shell nuclear toner is down to minimumly, reduce the chance of its surface residues and contact with air, and then reach the effect of Antagonistic Environment humidity variation again.In addition, outside small particle diameter silicon dioxide, enclose one deck silicon-titanium composite particles, because silicon-titanium composite particles resistivity is moderate, so can play the effect of stabilized zone electric weight and then Antagonistic Environment variation.
In the application process of above-mentioned silicon-titanium composite particles in cellular shell nuclear toner, described method also comprises to the cellular shell of the second modification of step S2 examines adding small particle diameter silicon dioxide and large particle diameter silicon dioxide in the toner, and stir, obtain the cellular shell nuclear toner of finished product modification.Can strengthen resistance to aging and the anti-agglomeration of this toner when large particle diameter silicon dioxide is applied to shell nuclear toner surface, and prevent that small particle diameter silicon dioxide is embedded in the shell nuclear toner fully.
In the application process of above-mentioned silicon-titanium composite particles in cellular shell nuclear toner, the mass fraction of cellular shell nuclear toner, silicon-titanium composite particles, small particle diameter silicon dioxide and large particle diameter silicon dioxide is respectively 100,0.5~2.0,0.1~2.0 and 0.6~3.0 described in the cellular shell nuclear toner of described finished product modification.
In the application process of above-mentioned silicon-titanium composite particles in cellular shell nuclear toner, the equal particle diameter of body of described cellular shell nuclear toner is 5~15 μ m, and the primary particle size of described silicon-titanium composite particles, small particle diameter silicon dioxide and large particle diameter silicon dioxide is respectively 6~200nm, 7~20nm and 30~200nm.
The Facing material of cellular shell nuclear toner is mainly resin, the easy hydroscopicity residue in resin building-up process and the toner granulation process and resin (especially vibrin) surface with hydrophilic radical all can cause shell nuclear toner very responsive to ambient humidity.Stablize charge level if in this type toner, add titania (comprise not the titania of surface modification and the hydrophobicity titania of surface modification), the low-resistivity of titania improves anti-environment, owing to will cause shell nuclear toner electric weight to a certain degree to be revealed.More than the stack meeting of two factors so that the frictional electrification amount of shell nuclear toner under high humidity environment is excessively low, easily cause print defect, perhaps reduce the utilization factor of toner.
Implement silicon of the present invention-titanium composite particles in cellular shell nuclear toner application and can obtain following beneficial effect during application process: because the resistivity of silicon-titanium composite particles is between the resistivity of silicon dioxide and titania, its good resistivity can make shell nuclear toner surface institute carried charge moderate, reduce electric weight and reveal, play the effect of stablizing the electrically charged and then Antagonistic Environment variation of its institute; Not only quantity is few but also volume is little than the formed agglomerate of titania for silicon-titanium composite particles, can guarantee that it is in the even distribution of shell nuclear toner surface.Application process of the present invention is implemented convenient, and can significantly improve the environmental stability of shell nuclear toner.
