Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to efficiently fix a dry toner at high speed by using a substance having >=0.1cal/cm.sec.deg heat conductivity at ordinary temp. in the outermost layer of the toner. CONSTITUTION:A substance having >=0.1cal.sec<-1>.deg<-1> heat conductivity is used as an auxiliary heat fixing agent together with a filler or a coating substance in the outermost layer of a dry toner so as to effectively transmit energy from the surface of a heat roll to the interface between the toner and transfer paper and to obtain a desired degree of fixing with smaller fixing energy. The substance having high heat conductivity used in the outermost layer of the dry toner may be a metal such as Ag, Al, Au, Be, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ge, Mg, Mo, Ni, Pt, Sn, Ta or Zn, a metal oxide such as Al2O3, BeO or MgO or any other substance having >=0.1cal.sec<-1>.deg<-1> heat conductivity.

In electrophotography, an electrostatic latent image formed on a photoreceptor is usually developed with resin powder containing pigment, and the resulting visible image is transferred onto transfer paper and fixed by heat, pressure, or a combination thereof. However, in recent years, there has been a demand for this fixing step to be carried out at high speed and with high efficiency, and from these points of view, the hot roll fixing method is often adopted.

In the hot roll fixing method, in order to perform high-speed fixing with low power consumption (lowering the softening point of the toner's binding material and lowering the melt viscosity is an effective means, usually the main binding material of the toner is For the binder polymer (binder resin) used as a material, lowering the softening point will cause a decrease in fluidity due to caking during toner storage, and lowering the melt viscosity will cause an offset phenomenon.

For this reason, a device is installed to supply a release agent such as silicone oil to the hot roll to prevent offset, and the glass transition point of the main binder polymer is increased, or inorganic ultrafine powder such as silica is added to the toner. A method of preventing caking during storage by using it as an external additive to the surface has been proposed.

2. Description of the Related Art Multilayer toners, typically microcapsule type, have been proposed as a method for constructing toners that can be fixed at high speed and with high efficiency and are less likely to cause caking. In this case, it is common to use a component that is easily melted by heat as the inner material, a material with a high melting point as the outermost layer material, and a material with good fluidity and anti-caking properties as the toner. Usually, as the inner material, a wax or a resin with a low glass transition point (Tg) or a low molecular weight is used as a binder, and the outermost layer material is a material with a high Tg, a high molecular weight, or a crosslinked structure. Binder is used. The thermal conductivity of a toner is not necessarily high, and it depends on the content of pigment components such as carbon black, but usually the thermal conductivity is I
It is only about Q-"af・Formula-1・deg-", and it cannot be said that the thermal energy from the heat roll is efficiently utilized.
