Description

  The present invention relates to a toner for developing an electrostatic image used in an image forming method such as electrophotography and electrostatic printing.

Electrophotographic technology used for copiers, printers, facsimiles, and the like continues to develop, and attention is focused on energy saving, weight reduction, and miniaturization. In addition, usage environments are diversified, and it is important to stabilize image quality over a long period of time. In order to satisfy the above requirements, a toner excellent in low-temperature fixability, high coloring power and heat-resistant storage stability is strongly demanded.

In the present invention, the toner particles include a styrene acrylic resin C, a polyester resin A, a pigment dispersant B, and a pigment. Moreover, the polyester resin A contains the isosorbide unit shown by Formula (1).
When pursuing low-temperature fixability, heat-resistant storage stability generally decreases. In the present invention, heat resistant storage stability can be improved by adding polyester resin A containing an isosorbide unit as a constituent component.
However, in order to exhibit excellent heat-resistant storage stability, it is necessary to make the content of the polyester resin A containing the isosorbide unit in the resin as a constituent component or the content of the isosorbide unit a specific amount. However, since the interaction between the isosorbide unit and the pigment is strong, it is difficult to improve the pigment dispersibility, and the localization of the polyester resin A around the pigment occurs, and the coloring power and the heat resistant storage stability are excellent. It was difficult to provide toner.
As a result of intensive studies by the present inventors, a combination of styrene acrylic resin C and polyester resin A, and further using pigment dispersant B, it is possible to obtain coloring power and heat-resistant storage stability in a toner satisfying low-temperature fixability. It has been found that an excellent toner can be provided.

This is presumed to be due to the following factors.
First, from the new finding that the present inventors found that the isosorbide unit is highly interactive with various pigments and easily adsorbs to the pigment surface, the polyester resin A is adsorbed to the pigment in the resin constituting the toner. And tends to localize around the pigment.
On the other hand, the pigment dispersant B contains a pigment adsorbing component adsorbed on the pigment and a styrene acrylic resin D, and has a structure in which the pigment adsorbing component and the styrene acrylic resin D are bonded via a divalent linking group. .
With this structure, the pigment adsorbing component of the pigment dispersant B is adsorbed on the pigment, and the styrene acrylic resin D is compatible with the styrene acrylic resin C. As a result, the presence of the pigment dispersant B greatly improves the dispersibility of the pigment in the resin.
Moreover, since the pigment is covered with the pigment dispersant B, the interaction property of the polyester resin A with respect to the pigment is greatly reduced. As a result, even when the content of the isosorbide unit is a specific amount, the localization of the polyester resin A around the pigment is suppressed, and the dispersibility of the pigment is greatly improved. It becomes possible to balance with sex.

In this invention, content of the styrene acrylic resin C is 50.00 mass% or more and 99.40 mass% or less with respect to resin.
When the content of the styrene acrylic resin C is less than 50.00% by mass, the pigment dispersibility is not improved and the coloring power cannot be improved. This is because the compatibility of the styrene acrylic resin D and the styrene acrylic resin C in the pigment dispersant B is lowered.
The content of the styrene acrylic resin C is 70.00% by mass or more and 99.0% with respect to the resin.
The content is preferably 0% by mass or less, and more preferably 75.00% by mass or more and 97.00% by mass or less.

In this invention, the polyester resin A contains 0.10 mol% or more and 30.00 mol% or less of the isosorbide unit shown by Formula (1) with respect to all the monomer units which comprise the polyester resin A.
When the content of the isosorbide unit is less than 0.10 mol%, the heat-resistant storage stability is not improved because it is compatible with the styrene acrylic resin C.
On the other hand, when the content of the isosorbide unit is larger than 30.00 mol%, the rigidity of the resin becomes strong, so that the low-temperature fixability is lowered.
From the viewpoint of low-temperature fixability and heat-resistant storage stability, the content of the isosorbide unit is preferably 0.50 mol% or more and 10.00 mol% or less, and is 1.00 mol% or more and 5.00.
It is preferable that it is less than mol%.

In this invention, content of the polyester resin A is 0.50 mass% or more and 30.00 mass% or less with respect to resin.
When the content of the polyester resin A is less than 0.50% by mass, it is difficult to improve the heat resistant storage stability of the resin.
On the other hand, when the content of the polyester resin A is larger than 30.00% by mass, the low-temperature fixability is lowered.
From the viewpoint of low-temperature fixability and heat-resistant storage stability, the content of the polyester resin A is preferably 1.00% by mass or more and 15.00% by mass or less, and is 2.00% by mass or more and 10.00% by mass or less. More preferably.

In this invention, it is preferable that the acid value of the polyester resin A is 0.5 mgKOH / g or more and 25.0 mgKOH / g or less from a viewpoint of heat-resistant storage stability and coloring power.
If the acid value of the polyester resin A is 0.5 mgKOH / g or more, the compatibility with the styrene acrylic resin C and the pigment dispersant B is more limited, and the phase separation of the polyester resin A is more effectively expressed. , Heat resistant storage stability is further improved.
On the other hand, when the acid value of the polyester resin A is 25.0 mgKOH / g or less, the interaction with the pigment is further suppressed, and the coloring power is further improved.
The acid value of the polyester resin A is more preferably 1.0 mgKOH / g or more and 20.0 mgKOH / g or less, and further preferably 3.0 mgKOH / g or more and 15.0 mgKOH / g or less.
The acid value of the polyester resin A can be controlled by the composition ratio of the monomers constituting the polyester resin A.

Hereinafter, the pigment adsorbing component of the pigment dispersant B will be further described.
In the present invention, the pigment adsorbing component of the pigment dispersant B has a tautomeric resonance structure represented by the following formula (2). These tautomers are also within the scope of the present invention.

The above formula (2) has a strong π-π bondability, and the formula (T1) and the formula (T2) have a strong hydrogen bondability. On the other hand, as a result of repeated studies by the present inventors, it was found that there are roughly classified pigments having a strong π-π interaction and pigments having a strong hydrogen bonding interaction.
That is, since the formula (2) takes the resonance structure of the above tautomer, an optimum structure having a strong affinity for various pigments can be obtained, so that high affinity can be obtained regardless of the pigment. I think that is possible.
When the pigment adsorbing component of the pigment dispersant B does not have the structure of the above formula (2), the adsorptivity of the pigment dispersant B with respect to the pigment is low, and the interaction between the pigment and the polyester resin A cannot be suppressed. Therefore, since the pigment dispersibility is not improved, a high coloring power cannot be obtained, and the heat resistant storage stability is not greatly improved.

R ¹ and R ² in the above formula (2) are not particularly limited as long as they do not inhibit the resonance structure of the tautomer, and can be arbitrarily selected from the substituents listed above.
In the present invention, examples of the alkyl group for R ¹ and R ² in the formula (2) include a methyl group, an ethyl group, an n-propyl group, an n-butyl group, an n-pentyl group, an n-hexyl group, and an isopropyl group. And an alkyl group having a linear structure, a branched structure or a cyclic structure such as a group, an isobutyl group, a sec-butyl group, a tert-butyl group and a cyclohexyl group.
In the present invention, examples of the aralkyl group in R ¹ and R ² in the formula (2) include a benzyl group and a phenethyl group.
Further, the substituents R ¹ and R ^{2 in} the formula (2) may be further substituted with a substituent as long as the affinity for the pigment is not inhibited. In this case, examples of the substituent include alkyl groups having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, alkoxy groups having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, halogen atoms, nitro groups, amino groups, carbamoyl groups, ureido groups, hydroxyl groups, cyano groups, and trivalent groups. A fluoromethyl group etc. are mentioned.
In the present invention, Ar represents a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, and examples thereof include a phenyl group and a naphthyl group. Examples of the substituent include alkyl groups having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, alkoxy groups having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, halogen atoms, hydroxyl groups, carbamoyl groups, ureido groups, amino groups, carboxyl groups, carboxylic acid ester groups, and carboxyl groups. And acid amide groups.
From the viewpoint of affinity for the pigment, R ¹ is preferably an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, a phenyl group, an —OCH ₃ group, or an —OCH ₂ C ₆ H ₅ group.
From the viewpoint of improving the π-π bondability or the hydrogen bondability, R ² is preferably a —NR ⁶ R ⁷ group, R ⁶ is a hydrogen atom, and R ⁷ is a phenyl group. Is preferred.

  Examples of combinations of substituents in the above formula (2) will be described below, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Specific examples include the following formulas (3) to (6).

［前記式（３）中、Ｍｅはメチル基を表し、Ｌはスチレンアクリル樹脂Ｄと結合するための二価の連結基を表す。］

[In said Formula (3), Me represents a methyl group, L represents the bivalent coupling group for couple | bonding with the styrene acrylic resin D. ]

In the above formula (3), the bonding position of the linking group L (substitution position with the hydrogen atom of the phenyl group) may be substituted with the o-position, m-position, and p-position with respect to the amide group. The affinity of the pigment and the pigment adsorbing component due to the difference in these substitution positions is the same at the o-position, m-position and p-position. However, the pigment dispersant B in which the pigment adsorbing component and the styrene acrylic resin D are connected. In the case where the bonding position of the linking group L is the m-position and the p-position with respect to the amide group, there is less steric hindrance compared to the case of the o-position. Easy to get. Therefore, the bonding position of the linking group L is preferably in the m-position and p-position with respect to the amide group.
Moreover, it is preferable to contain the pigment adsorption component represented by Formula (3) as a pigment adsorption component from a viewpoint of improving pi-pi bondability more.

［前記式（４）中、Ｍｅはメチル基を表し、Ｅｔはエチル基を表し、Ｌはスチレンアクリル樹脂Ｄと結合するための二価の連結基を表す。］ From the viewpoint of further improving the π-π bondability of the pigment dispersant B, the structure of the following formula (4) can be preferably exemplified.

[In said Formula (4), Me represents a methyl group, Et represents an ethyl group, L represents the bivalent coupling group for couple | bonding with the styrene acrylic resin D. ]

［前記式（５）中、Ｍｅはメチル基を表し、Ｌはスチレンアクリル樹脂Ｄと結合するための二価の連結基を表す。］ From the viewpoint of further improving the hydrogen bondability of the pigment dispersant B, the structure of the following formula (5) can be suitably exemplified.

[In said Formula (5), Me represents a methyl group, L represents the bivalent coupling group for couple | bonding with the styrene acrylic resin D. ]

［前記式（６）中、Ｍｅはメチル基を表し、Ｌはスチレンアクリル樹脂Ｄと結合するための二価の連結基を表す。］ From the viewpoint of further improving the π-π bondability and hydrogen bondability of the pigment dispersant B, the structure of the following formula (6) can be suitably exemplified.

[In said Formula (6), Me represents a methyl group, L represents the bivalent coupling group for couple | bonding with the styrene acrylic resin D. ]

Next, the styrene acrylic resin D contained in the pigment dispersant B will be described.
In order to allow the styrene acrylic resin D to be more uniformly dispersed in the styrene acrylic resin C, the number average molecular weight (Mn) measured using gel permeation chromatography (GPC) of the styrene acrylic resin D is 3000. It is preferable that it is 30000 or less. If the number average molecular weight (Mn) is 3000 or more, the site of the styrene acrylic resin D in the pigment dispersant B adsorbed on the pigment surface is sufficiently large. Therefore, since the approach between the pigment particles is hindered, the aggregation of the pigment can be further suppressed, and the coloring power is further improved. If the number average molecular weight (Mn) is 30000 or less, the compatibility of the styrene acrylic resin D and the styrene acrylic resin C is extremely high, and the effect of the pigment dispersant B is further improved.
The number average molecular weight (Mn) of the styrene acrylic resin D is more preferably 5000 or more and 20000 or less.
The number average molecular weight (Mn) of the styrene acrylic resin D controls, for example, the type of polymerization initiator, the addition amount of the polymerization initiator, the temperature during polymerization, and the like when the styrene acrylic resin D is polymerized. Thus, it is possible to adjust to the above range.

In order to achieve both the adsorbability of the pigment dispersant B to the pigment and the compatibility with the styrene acrylic resin D, the number of pigment adsorbing components per molecule of the pigment dispersant B is preferably 1 or more and 6 or less. .
If the number of the pigment adsorbing components is 1 or more, the number of pigment dispersant B molecules for which the pigment adsorbing components could not be introduced is sufficiently reduced, so that the effect of the pigment dispersing agent B is efficiently expressed.
If the number of pigment adsorbing components is 6 or less, the interaction between the pigment adsorbing components is suppressed and the compatibility of the pigment dispersant B with the styrene acrylic resin C can be improved. Will be improved.
The number of the pigment adsorbing components is more preferably 1.5 or more and 4.5 or less.
The number of the pigment adsorbing components is influenced by the composition of the pigment adsorbing components and the number average molecular weight of the styrene acrylic resin D, but can be a linking group in the pigment dispersant B when synthesizing the styrene acrylic resin D. By adjusting the amount of the functional group and the amount of the pigment adsorbing component with respect to the functional group that can be a linking group of the styrene acrylic resin D when the pigment dispersant B is synthesized, it can be adjusted to the above range.

In the present invention, the toner particles are preferably toner particles obtained by the following method i) or ii).
i) Particles of a polymerizable monomer composition containing a styrene monomer, an acrylic monomer, a polyester resin A, a pigment, and a pigment dispersant B are formed in an aqueous medium and are contained in the particles of the polymerizable monomer composition. A method of obtaining toner particles by polymerizing a styrene monomer and an acrylic monomer.
ii) Resin solution particles in which styrene acrylic resin C, polyester resin A, pigment and pigment dispersant B are dissolved or dispersed in an organic solvent are formed in an aqueous medium, and an organic solvent contained in the resin solution particles is formed. A method of removing the toner particles.
Polyester resin A has a high interaction property with an aqueous medium. Therefore, when the polymerizable monomer composition particles or the resin solution particles are formed in an aqueous medium, the layer separation of the polyester resin A is more effectively expressed. Therefore, even if the addition amount of the polyester resin A is small, the heat resistant storage stability can be improved efficiently.
Furthermore, the amount of the polyester resin A that is compatible or dispersed in the styrene acrylic resin C becomes very small, and the pigment dispersion effect of the pigment dispersant B can be further improved.
Of the above methods, the method i) is more preferable.

In the present invention, the styrene acrylic resin C and the styrene acrylic resin D are a copolymer of a styrene monomer and an acrylic monomer.

For analysis of the content of the styrene acrylic resin C and the polyester resin A and the content of the isosorbide unit, a pyrolysis gas chromatography mass spectrometer (hereinafter, pyrolysis GC / MS) and NMR are used.
In the present invention, components having a molecular weight of 1500 or more are measured. This is because the region having a molecular weight of less than 1500 is considered to be a region having a high wax ratio and almost no resin component.
In pyrolysis GC / MS, the constituent monomer of the total amount of resin in the toner can be determined and the peak area of each monomer can be determined. Necessary. On the other hand, in NMR, it is possible to determine and quantify constituent monomers without using a sample having a known concentration. Therefore, depending on the situation, the constituent monomer is determined by comparing the spectra of both NMR and pyrolysis GC / MS.
Specifically, when the resin component insoluble in deuterated chloroform, which is an extraction solvent at the time of NMR measurement, is less than 5.0% by mass, quantification is performed by NMR measurement.
On the other hand, when the resin component insoluble in deuterated chloroform, which is an extraction solvent at the time of NMR measurement, is present in an amount of 5.0% by mass or more, NMR and pyrolysis GC / Both MS measurements are performed, and pyrolysis GC / MS is measured for deuterated chloroform insoluble matter. In this case, first, NMR measurement of deuterated chloroform solubles is performed, and the constituent monomers are determined and quantified (quantitative result 1).
Next, pyrolysis GC / MS measurement is performed on the deuterated chloroform solubles to determine the peak area of the peak attributed to each constituent monomer. Using the quantitative result 1 obtained by NMR measurement, the relationship between the amount of each constituent monomer and the peak area of pyrolysis GC / MS is determined.
Subsequently, pyrolysis GC / MS measurement of a deuterated chloroform insoluble content is performed, and the peak area attributed to each constituent monomer is determined. Based on the relationship between the amount of each constituent monomer obtained by measurement of deuterated chloroform solubles and the peak area of pyrolysis GC / MS, the constituent monomers in the deuterated chloroform insoluble matter are quantified (quantitative result 2). . Then, the quantitative result 1 and the quantitative result 2 are combined to obtain the final quantitative result of each constituent monomer.
Specifically, the following operation is performed.
(1) Weigh accurately 500 mg of toner into a 30 mL glass sample bottle, add 10 mL of deuterated chloroform, cap, disperse and dissolve for 1 hour with an ultrasonic disperser. Subsequently, it filters with a 0.4 micrometer diameter membrane filter, and collect | recovers filtrate. At this time, the deuterated chloroform insoluble matter remains on the membrane filter.
(2) Using a preparative high-efficiency liquid chromatography (HPLC), 3 mL of the filtrate is recovered with a fraction collector except a molecular weight of less than 1500 and a resin solution from which components having a molecular weight of less than 1500 have been removed. Chloroform is removed from the collected solution using a rotary evaporator to obtain a resin. The molecular weight of less than 1500 is determined by measuring a polystyrene resin having a known molecular weight in advance and obtaining the elution time.
(3) Dissolve 20 mg of the obtained resin in 1 mL of deuterated chloroform, perform ¹ H-NMR measurement, assign a spectrum to each constituent monomer used for the styrene acrylic resin C and the polyester resin A, and determine the quantity. Find the value.
(4) If analysis of deuterium chloroform insolubles is required, analysis is performed by pyrolysis GC / MS. If necessary, derivatization treatment such as methylation is performed.
