Chinese patent literature CN 102432992 A discloses the method using polyvalent alcohol, isocyanic ester, chainextender etc. to prepare non-ionic water polyurethane emulsion.The method can prepare non-ionic water polyurethane emulsion, but does not have good triboelectric behavior.
Another part of Chinese patent literature CN98120882.7 discloses a kind of electrophotographic developer, and it has lower frictional electrification Q/M numerical value, but this photographic developer is oily matter, is only suitable for oleoresin and uses.
The technology provided in above-mentioned data, all cannot meet and have good physical behavior and triboelectric behavior concurrently required by field of waterborne polyurethane, thus cannot meet the service requirements of printer and other electronic photographing devices.

The weight percent preferable range of above-mentioned each component is: water-based non-ionic polyurethane emulsion 70-95wt%, graphitized carbon black 5-20wt%, aqueous antistatic agent 0.5-5wt%, auxiliary agent 1-5wt%.
In said components:
Described water-based non-ionic polyurethane emulsion is reacted by 20 ~ 40% isocyanic ester, 50 ~ 70% hydroxyl polyols, 5 ~ 15% non-ionic hydrophilic chainextenders and 5 ~ 15% small molecule chain extenders to generate.Wherein,
Described isocyanate is aliphatic isocyanates or aromatic isocyanate, and preferred aliphat isocyanic ester can select isophorone diisocyanate, hexamethylene diisocyanate, tolylene diisocyanate or diphenylmethanediisocyanate.Described aromatic isocyanate is owing to containing phenyl ring, oxygen reaction easily and in air generates quinoid structure, i.e. so-called xanthochromia, so in the preparation and use procedure of aromatic isocyanate coating, easily there is xanthochromia in coating, thus causes the outward appearance of coating and the change of mechanical property---weathering resistance and photostabilization poor; Described aliphatic isocyanates owing to not having unsaturated link(age), thus has good weathering resistance and photostabilization.Current high-grade water-borne coatings generally all uses aliphatic isocyanates.

Described small molecule chain extender can select glycol ether, 1,4-butyleneglycol or ethylene glycol, this is conventional chain extender, polyurethane coating is made to have a kind of block copolymerization type macromolecular compound formed with hard section by soft section after chain extension, give the performances such as product flexibility, rebound resilience and flexibility for soft section, hard section gives mechanical property and the chemical-resistant of product excellence.
Described non-ionic hydrophilic chainextender selects trolamine, dimethythiotoluene diamine and diethyl toluene diamine etc.Amine chain extender speed of reaction is higher, and reduce the reaction times, reaction can not add catalyzer; Amine chain extender has excellent moisture resistance air-sensitive perception simultaneously, easily prepares the coating of better performances.
Described graphitized carbon black is water nano level carbon black dispersion liquid, there is good electroconductibility and dispersiveness, obtained through grinding distribution by the graphitized carbon black, wetting agent, dispersion agent etc. with high structure, its concrete preparation method can see patent CN201110444681.7.
Described aqueous antistatic agent adopts quaternary ammonium compound, can use common commercially available product, the HK-PU-4 etc. of the Catafor F of such as Rhodia, Nantong ancient cooking vessel and novel material Science and Technology Ltd. TW-19A, Shanghai Ka Jite Chemical Industry Science Co., Ltd.
Described auxiliary agent comprises wetting agent, flow agent, and silane coupling agent etc. added as required.Wherein aqueous wetting agent selects Siloxane-Oxyalkylene Copolymers (the high company 245 of Germany), and water-based flow agent selects Siloxane-Oxyalkylene Copolymers (the high company 440 of Germany), and silane coupling agent selects KH550, KH560, KH570 etc.
