ナー組成物に関する。Detailed Description of the Invention (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a toner composition for developing an electrostatic latent image formed in electrophotography, electrostatic printing, electrostatic recording, etc. The present invention relates to a toner composition having good cleaning properties and fluidity.

散された種々のトナーが用いられている。(Prior art and its problems) Conventionally, in copiers and the like that utilize electrophotography, electrostatic latent materials formed on photoreceptors of inorganic photoconductors such as selenium, CdS, and ZnO1a-3i and organic photoconductors have been used. In order to visualize images by dry development, various toners in which colorants and the like are dispersed in a fixing resin are used.

して可視化している。In the above development method, an electrostatic latent image formed on the photoreceptor by charging and exposure is developed with the toner, and the developed toner image is transferred to a support such as transfer paper, and a heating roller and a pressure roller are used. The toner image is fixed on the transfer paper and made visible.

ングの画像形成プロセスが繰り返しおこなわれ、上述す
るクリーニングブレードによるクリーニング方式は、機
構が簡単であり、また装置が小型化できるという利点か
ら現在量も多く使用されている。After the toner image is transferred to the support, the residual toner on the photoreceptor is often scraped off with a cleaning blade in order to clean the toner remaining on the photoreceptor. In this way, in an electrophotographic copying machine, the image forming process of charging, exposing, developing, transferring, fixing, and cleaning is repeated for each copying operation.The cleaning method using the cleaning blade described above has a simple mechanism, and It is currently used in large quantities because of the advantage that the device can be made smaller.

ムの回転により感光体表面を摺擦して感光体表面に残留

。In this cleaning method, a blade made of a heat-resistant elastic material such as urethane is supported by a support member, and is brought into pressure contact with the photoreceptor surface during cleaning or at any time, and the photoreceptor surface is rubbed by the rotation of the photoreceptor drum. The toner remaining on the surface is scraped off with a blade.

複写画像を粗悪なものとしてしまう。However, in this blade cleaning method, the mechanical friction of the edge of the blade pressed against the photoreceptor surface may damage the photoreceptor surface, and the photoreceptor may be worn out due to repeated rubbing, shortening its lifespan and reducing the quality of the resulting copies. The image becomes inferior.

。Therefore, by using a toner composition in which a lubricant is added externally to toner particles, it is possible to reduce the coefficient of friction between the photoreceptor surface and the cleaning blade, thereby preventing scratches and abrasion of the photoreceptor surface. For example, in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 57-84460, powdered organic resin powder with high lubricity such as fluororesin, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyolefin, polyamide, etc. is added as a lubricant to toner particles. It is proposed that.

It tends to reduce the fluidity of toner in the developing device,
Toner scattering due to low charge amount toner due to lack of uniform stirring,
Image fogging, image blurring, etc. occur. In addition, the lubricant powder aggregates and melts due to the frictional heat between the blade and the photoreceptor surface during repeated image formation, and the mixture of toner and lubricant is fused to the photoreceptor surface, resulting in image deterioration. It may cause.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a toner composition that has a reduced coefficient of friction with the surface, does not inhibit the fluidity of toner or developer, and has excellent durability and environmental resistance.

ブリを防止する効果も得ることができる。(Function) The present invention is characterized in that fine powder of silicone resin is externally added to toner particles. A toner composition to which silicone resin fine powder is externally added has silicone resin fine powder on the toner particle surface and between the toner particles, and even if a blade is pressed with considerable pressure against the photoreceptor surface to which this toner composition has adhered. Since the coefficient of friction can be effectively reduced by the excellent lubricity of silicone resin, residual toner can be smoothly scraped off without damaging the photoreceptor. In particular, fine powder of silicone resin has superior water repellency compared to conventional lubricants made of organic resin powder such as fluororesin, polyamide, polyolefin, etc., and has almost no tendency to aggregate, so it It is possible to avoid the phenomenon of fusion to the surface of the photoreceptor, which occurs with organic lubricants and which occurs with a decrease in the fluidity of the developer and an increase in the number of copies. In addition, silicone resin powder exhibits superior water repellency compared to conventional organic lubricants, so it is not affected by humidity and can achieve the above effects even in harsh environments with high temperatures and high humidity. can. In addition, when using the toner composition of the present invention as a two-component developer, the silicone resin fine powder exhibits a large negative triboelectrification property against commonly used carrier particles such as iron powder and ferrite. When used together with a chargeable toner, it is also possible to obtain the effect of preventing toner scattering and image fogging caused by uncharged toner or mechanical impact.

。(Comparative Example) To a toner similar to the toner of the above example, 1 part by weight of resin powder (Kynar 5201, manufactured by Bensalt Chemical Corporation, trade name) containing vinylidene fluoride as a main component was added per 100 parts by weight of the toner. The mixture was mixed to form a toner composition. Then, in the same manner as in the above embodiment, the toner density is 4.

A 20,000-sheet printing durability test was conducted on a modified copying machine DC-2055 (manufactured by Sanda Kogyo Co., Ltd.) equipped with an organic photoreceptor in a high temperature and high humidity environment of 35°C and 85%, and the photoreceptor was damaged. The following items were evaluated: generation, toner adhesion to the photoreceptor, fluidity, and charging stability. The results are shown in Table-1.

る。(The following is a blank space) Table 1 Table 1 shows that in harsh environments of high temperature and humidity, fluororesin powder, which has the highest lubricity among organic lubricants and has an excellent cleaning improvement effect, is used as a lubricant. When used, although it is effective in preventing scratches on the photoconductor, the fluidity of the developer decreases as the printing cycle progresses.
The charging characteristics of the toner become unstable. It can also be seen that the aggregation of the lubricant makes it easier for the toner composition to adhere to the photoreceptor. On the other hand, it can be seen that the developer to which the silicone resin fine powder is added and mixed has good cleaning properties and good results in terms of adhesion of the toner composition to the photoreceptor as the printing cycle progresses. Furthermore, it can be seen that the fluidity and charging characteristics of the toner also changed favorably.
