外添剤は、トナー粒子表面に付着しトナーの流動性を高め、スペーサーとして働くためブロッキングも防止する。また、外添剤は、トナーの帯電性もコントロールする。

The externally added fine particles (B) according to this embodiment are, for example, added to the copolymer emulsion, which is a suspension of the fine resin particles (A), and stirred, and the fine resin particles (A). After obtaining a mixed emulsion of a metal salt and a metal salt compound, the mixed emulsion can be dried and crushed.
The external additive adheres to the surface of the toner particles, improves the fluidity of the toner, and acts as a spacer, thus preventing blocking. The external additive also controls the chargeability of the toner.
When a surfactant (emulsifier) is used as an external additive as in the conventional case, the chargeability is lowered and the developability may be deteriorated.
On the other hand, according to the method for producing externally added fine particles for toner according to one embodiment of the present invention, externally added fine particles (B) can be stably produced without using a surfactant (emulsifier).
Therefore, since the external additive fine particles (B) obtained by the method for producing externally added fine particles for toner according to the present embodiment are used for the toner, the external additive has good chargeability. It is kept good and the decrease in chargeability is suppressed.

On the other hand, according to the method for producing the externally added fine particles (B) according to the present embodiment, since it is a soap-free method, there is no need for a washing step of a surfactant (emulsifier), and water solubility such as polyvinyl alcohol. This is useful in that the process of washing the polymer can be simplified.

<帯電性>
トナー用外添微粒子の帯電量は、例えば、カスケード式帯電量測定に得られた値を用いることができ、−0.3×10−1μC/g以下であれば、トナーに添加して用いた際に十分な帯電性が得られ、十分に負に帯電していると判断される。
例えば、トナー用外添微粒子の帯電量が、−0.3×10−1μC/g以下であれば、帯電性が良好であり、外添剤をトナーに用いた場合においてトナーが長時間撹拌されても現像性が悪化しにくい。
<Chargeability>
As the charge amount of the external additive fine particles for toner, for example, the value obtained by the cascade charge amount measurement can be used, and if it is −0.3 × 10 −1 μC / g or less, it is added to the toner and used. Sufficient chargeability is obtained, and it is judged to be sufficiently negatively charged.
For example, if the charge amount of the external additive fine particles for toner is −0.3 × 10 −1 μC / g or less, the chargeability is good, and the toner is stirred for a long time when the external additive is used for the toner. However, developability is not easily deteriorated.

<粒子径(平均粒子径)>
外添微粒子(B)の平均粒子径は、特に限定されないが、例えば、0.05〜1.0μmであってもよく、0.1〜0.8μmが好ましい。
外添剤(B)の平均粒子径を0.8μmより大きくするとトナー表面から脱離しやすく、帯電量が低下することで現像性を悪化させる。
外添微粒子(B)の平均粒子径が0.1μm以上であるとスペーサーとしての機能が十分となりブロッキングが発生しにくくなる。
外添微粒子(B)の平均粒子径は、走査型電子顕微鏡(SEM)を用いて測定される値である。
<Particle size (average particle size)>
The average particle diameter of the externally added fine particles (B) is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, 0.05 to 1.0 μm, and preferably 0.1 to 0.8 μm.
When the average particle diameter of the external additive (B) is larger than 0.8 μm, it is easy to be detached from the toner surface, and the charge amount is lowered, so that developability is deteriorated.
When the average particle diameter of the externally added fine particles (B) is 0.1 μm or more, the function as a spacer is sufficient and blocking is difficult to occur.
The average particle diameter of the externally added fine particles (B) is a value measured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM).
