- the present invention relates to a polymerized toner, and more particularly, to a polymerized toner suitable as an electrostatic image developing toner formed by electrophotography, electrostatic recording, or the like, a method for producing the same, and a method for producing the same.
- the present invention relates to an image forming method using a toner, and an image forming apparatus containing the polymerized toner.
- a two-component developer consisting of toner and carrier particles is substantially used.
- the one-component developer includes a magnetic one-component developer containing magnetic powder and a non-magnetic one-component developer containing no magnetic powder.
- a fluidizing agent such as colloidal silica is often added independently to enhance the fluidity of the toner.
- the toner generally, colored particles formed by dispersing a colorant such as carbon black or other additives in a binder resin and granulating the toner are used.
- Toner production methods are roughly classified into a pulverization method and a polymerization method.
- a synthetic resin, a colorant and, if necessary, other additives are melt-mixed, pulverized, and then classified to obtain particles having a desired particle size, thereby obtaining a toner.
- a polymerizable monomer in which various additives such as a coloring agent, a polymerization initiator, and, if necessary, a crosslinking agent and a charge controlling agent are uniformly dissolved or dispersed in the polymerizable monomer.
- composition Then, the mixture is dispersed in an aqueous dispersion medium containing a dispersion stabilizer using a stirrer to form fine droplet particles of the polymerizable monomer composition.
- aqueous dispersion medium containing a dispersion stabilizer using a stirrer to form fine droplet particles of the polymerizable monomer composition.
- colored polymer particles polymerized toner having a desired particle size are obtained.
- an electrostatic latent image is substantially formed by toner.
- an image forming apparatus such as an electrophotographic apparatus and an electrostatic recording apparatus
- an electrostatic latent image is formed by uniformly exposing an image on a charged photoconductor, and toner is applied to the electrostatic latent image.
- the toner image is adhered to form a toner image (visible image), and this toner image is transferred onto a transfer material such as transfer paper.
- the unfixed toner image is subjected to various methods such as heating, pressurizing, and solvent vapor.
- Fixed on the transfer material In the fixing process, in many cases, a transfer material on which a toner image has been transferred is passed between a heating roll (fixing roll) and a pressure roll, and the toner is heated and pressed to fuse it onto the transfer material. .
- the image formed by an image forming apparatus such as an electrophotographic copying machine is required to have higher definition year by year.
- toner obtained by a pulverizing method has been the mainstream toner used in an image forming apparatus.
- the pulverization method colored particles having a wide particle size distribution are easily formed. Therefore, in order to obtain satisfactory developing characteristics, it is necessary to classify the pulverized product to adjust the particle size distribution to a somewhat narrower range.
- the classification itself is complicated and the yield is low, and the toner yield is greatly reduced. Therefore, in recent years, polymerized toners that can easily control the particle size and do not need to go through complicated manufacturing processes such as classification have been attracting attention.
- a polymerized toner having a desired particle size and particle size distribution can be obtained without performing pulverization or classification.
- the conventional polymerized toner has a problem that it cannot sufficiently cope with recent demands for high-speed copying, full colorization, and energy saving.
- high-speed copying and high-speed printing have been demanded along with reduction in power consumption.
- the process that consumes energy in particular is the fixing process after the toner is transferred from the photoconductor onto a transfer material such as transfer paper.
- a heating roll heated to a temperature of 150 ° C or higher is generally used to heat and fuse the toner and fix the toner on the transfer material, and electric power is used as an energy source. It is used. Lowering the temperature of the heating roll is required from the viewpoint of energy saving. To lower the heating roll temperature, the toner must be able to fix at a lower temperature than before. That is, it is necessary to lower the fixing temperature of the toner itself. Using a toner that can fix at a lower temperature than before can reduce the heating roll temperature, but can reduce the fixing time if the heating roll temperature is not so reduced. Therefore, it can be used for high-speed copying and high-speed printing.
- toner In designing toner, to meet the demands of image forming apparatuses such as energy saving and high-speed copying, it is necessary to lower the glass transition temperature of the binder resin constituting the toner. However, if the toner is composed of a binder resin having a low glass transition temperature, the toners will block each other during storage, transportation, or in a toner box of an image forming apparatus, and the like. Agglomerates tend to be formed, and so-called poor storage stability.
- Techniques for lowering the melt viscosity of the toner include lowering the molecular weight of the binder resin and lowering the glass transition temperature compared to conventional binder resins for toner. However, whichever method is used, the toner is liable to block, resulting in a toner having poor storage stability.

- the resulting polymer apparently becomes a high molecular weight polymer due to the entanglement of its branches, so-called physical crosslinking, so that the offset resistance of the polymerized toner is improved.
- physical cross-linking with a macromonomer component is a loose cross-linking structure, unlike chemical cross-linking using a cross-linkable monomer such as divinylbenzene.
