がある。[Prior Art] [Problem to be Solved by the Invention] Toners conventionally used in electrophotography are generally made by kneading additives such as a coloring agent such as carbon plaque and a charge control agent into a thermoplastic resin. After being uniformly dispersed, it is pulverized using a pulverizer, and then classified using a classifier to the particle size suitable for the toner. There are several problems with toner produced by this pulverization method. That is, in the toner manufactured by this pulverization method, the material must have a certain degree of pulverization so that it can be easily pulverized. However, if a material that is too brittle is used, the toner becomes too finely divided, and in order to obtain the final toner with the appropriate particle size distribution, the fine particles must be removed, which increases manufacturing costs. There is.

、摩擦帯電性が均一であるなどの特徴を有している。Moreover, such toner may be further pulverized in the developing device of a copying machine during the process of continuous copying. In addition, if a low melting point material or a pressure fixing material is used for the toner to improve heat fixability, the toner may fuse in the crusher or classifier, making continuous production impossible. arise. In order to solve these problems, it has been proposed to produce polymerized toners from polymerizable monomers by a suspension polymerization method. (Tokuko Sho 51-14895
(Refer to Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 57-53756, etc.) The conventional method for producing a polymerized toner by a general suspension polymerization method involves adding a polymerizable monomer and a colorant (mainly containing at least a carbon blank). , generated when the polymerization initiator in the reaction system is decomposed by heat when granulated to the particle size of the toner using an appropriate stirrer in a water-miscible medium containing at least a suspension stabilizer. A polymerizable monomer is polymerized by radicals to form a polymer, and a polymerized toner is manufactured. That is, this polymerized toner does not need to be brittle, and since it is spherical in shape, the polymerized toner has characteristics such as excellent fluidity and uniform triboelectric charging properties.

良好な懸濁安定剤が望まれている。However, when producing polymerized particles having a desired particle size for a toner by suspension polymerization, selection of a suspension stabilizer becomes an important point. That is, the suspension stabilizer has a large effect on particle size, particle size distribution, yield, post-treatment method, etc. Especially 5-10
There is a need for a suspension stabilizer that has a large suspension stabilizing ability to stabilize droplets on the order of micrometers until the end of polymerization, and that has good removal, ie, washability, of the suspension stabilizer after polymerization.

を満足できない。Polyvinyl alcohol generally used for suspension polymerization is
It has a high suspension stability ability and can stably complete the polymerization of droplets having a desired particle size in the toner, but the surface of the obtained polymer particles is covered with a polyvinyl alcohol film,
Surface physical properties will largely depend on polyvinyl alcohol. In addition, since it is difficult to effectively remove the polyvinyl alcohol that coats the particle surface, these polymer particles deteriorate in surface resistance, triboelectric charging properties, moisture resistance, etc., which are important physical properties of toner, and are not required as toners. performance cannot be satisfied.

By coexisting an amine compound in a suspension polymerization system that uses polyvinyl alcohol as a suspension stabilizer, formation of a polyvinyl alcohol film on the surface of the polymer particles is suppressed and prevented, and triboelectric resistance and moisture resistance are improved.

底物を調整した。When using the Adan compound in the present invention, it was possible to prevent polyvinyl alcohol from contaminating the surface of the polymer particles by adding it to the dispersed phase (monomer phase). In this case, it is preferable that the fruit compound is slightly soluble in water, and that the pKa value is 5 or less to prevent agglomeration and aggregation of particles due to stabilization of the suspension system, and to improve particle formation. It is preferable because precepts are possible. Further, it is preferable that the concentration of the saturated aqueous solution at 25° C. be 5% or less, since this also stabilizes the suspension system and makes it possible to produce good particles without agglomeration or agglomeration. It can be added to either the dispersed phase (monomer phase) or the continuous phase (aqueous phase) or both, but it is especially possible to obtain a large pollution control effect by adding it to the dispersed phase (monomer phase). The amount of the amine compound used in the present invention is such that when added to the monomer phase, the concentration in that phase is 0.05% to 5%, preferably 0.1% to 3%.Concentration of the amine compound If it is less than 0.05%, polyvinyl alcohol contamination is observed, and if it exceeds 5%, there is a strong tendency to inhibit polymerization, making it impossible to obtain a polymer with the desired molecular weight. , cleaning of polymer particles,
Due to drying issues, the smaller the particle size of the polymer particles, the more effective it is. [Example] An example will be explained below. Example 1 10 g of n-butyl acrylate and 20 g of carbon black (manufactured by Mitsubishi Kaoru Co., Ltd., #40) were mixed and dispersed in 90 g of styrene at room temperature for about an hour using a paint conditioner. After purging with nitrogen gas for 30 minutes, at 100° C. or higher, 4 g of 2.2°-azobisisobutyronitrile was added to the above monomer composition of the polymerizable monomer and dissolved to form the monomer. Adjusted the bottom.
