本発明は電子写真、静電記録、静電印刷業に用いられる
静電荷現像用で圧力定着あるいは弱い加圧下での熱定着
可能なトナーの製造方法に関するものである。Detailed Description of the Invention (Industrial Application Field) The present invention is a toner for electrostatic charge development used in electrophotography, electrostatic recording, and electrostatic printing, which can be fixed by pressure or heat under weak pressure. This relates to a manufacturing method.

電子写真を利用した複写方法として、光導電性物質を利
用した感光体上に種々の手段により静電潜像を形成し、
次いで該潜像をトナーを用いて現像し、紙に転写後定着
して複写物を得る方法が一般的である。(Prior Art) As a copying method using electrophotography, an electrostatic latent image is formed by various means on a photoreceptor using a photoconductive substance.
A common method is to then develop the latent image using toner, transfer it to paper, and then fix it to obtain a copy.
この複写方法において、トナー像の定着方法としてはオ
ーブンあるいは熱ロールによる加熱定着方法、加圧によ
り定着させる圧力定着方法等がある。In this copying method, methods for fixing the toner image include a heating fixing method using an oven or a heated roll, and a pressure fixing method for fixing the toner image by applying pressure.

真方式による端末プリンターの普及により、電源を入れ
れば待ち時間なしに複写が行えること、及び定着装置が
簡単であること等の利点を有する低温での熱ローラ一定
着及び圧力定着が普及しつつある。Nowadays, due to faster copying speed, lower power consumption, smaller size, and the spread of electrophotographic terminal printers, there are advantages such as copying without waiting time when the power is turned on, and a simple fixing device. Heat roller fixing and pressure fixing at low temperatures are becoming popular.

ある。However, with these fixing methods, sufficient fixing performance cannot be obtained depending on the conventional toner. This is because in order to obtain sufficient fixing performance at low temperatures, it is necessary to use a material with a low Tg or low melting point as the binder resin, but this not only poses problems in the storage stability of the toner, but also causes contamination of the carrier during development. There are also problems such as fusion to the surface of the photoreceptor.

圧縮降伏値が低く定着性が良好であるものの、トナー製
造時の粉砕性、トナーの保存性等に問題がある。The toner used in the pressure fixing method is one that undergoes plastic deformation under a predetermined pressure (approximately 3 to 300 kg/c++1), specifically waxes such as polyethylene wax, polyolefin wax, and polyamide wax. However, among the above-mentioned waxes, those with a low softening point have a low compression yield value and good fixing properties, but they have problems in crushability during toner production, toner storage stability, etc.
これらの問題を解決することは、従来のような粉砕法に

することにより生じるものと推察される。After the resin emulsion is mixed with a dispersion obtained by emulsifying the core particle solution with stirring, the volatile solvent is removed by heating under reduced pressure, etc., thereby obtaining a spherical toner encapsulated with the resin of the resin emulsion. This phenomenon occurs when the resin emulsion aggregates around the emulsified droplets of the core particle solution.
It is presumed that this is caused by the resin emulsion being swollen or dissolved by the volatile solvent during the process of removing the volatile solvent from the emulsified droplets of the core particle solution.

明した。Example 2 A solution in which 25 parts of crystalline polyester with a melting point of 40°C and 50 parts of magnetite were dissolved and dispersed in 500 parts of methylene chloride,
A solution prepared by dissolving 4 parts of polyvinyl alcohol in 2000 parts of water was added and emulsified by strong stirring. 300 parts of the resin emulsion was mixed into the emulsion with stirring to obtain a dispersion. When this dispersion was observed under an optical microscope, it was confirmed that the resin emulsion was loosely coagulated and adhered around the emulsified droplets. By heating the above dispersion liquid under reduced pressure, an average particle size of 1
A 0.5 μm capsule toner was obtained. Furthermore, when the obtained particles were cut and observed with a TEM, it was found that an uneven film was observed around the core particles, indicating that they were capsule particles.

凝集はまったく起こらなかった。The toner obtained by the above manufacturing method was applied to a selenium photoreceptor PPC copying machine and copied at a pressure of 200 kg/c at room temperature.
Fixation was performed with a weight of nt. The resulting image had good fixability, no offset was observed, and was a good image without gloss. Further, this toner did not cause any aggregation after being stored at 50° C. for a day and night.

不均一となり、極めて画質の悪いコピーとなった。Comparative Example 1 A toner dispersion was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1 except that no water-soluble polymer was used. In the toner dispersion obtained by the above manufacturing method, a large number of resin emulsions that did not coagulate remain, and as a result of observing the cut surface of the toner with a TEM, many unencapsulated core particles were observed, and uniform capsules were formed. It turned out that no change had been made. Furthermore, agglomeration occurred in the developing machine of the PPC copying machine, and the spikes on the developing roller became uneven, resulting in copies with extremely poor image quality.
