20080318141 | METHOD OF PREPARING TONER AND TONER PREPARED USING THE METHOD - A method of preparing toner, the method including preparing a latex for a core by polymerizing a composition for a core including a macromonomer having a hydrophilic group, a hydrophobic group and at least one reactive functional group, at least one polymerizable monomer, and a wax; agglomerating the latex for a core by adding a pigment dispersion dispersed by the macromonomer and an inorganic salt to the prepared latex for a core; and coating the agglomerated latex for a core using a latex for a shell layer, wherein the latex for a shell layer is prepared by polymerizing a composition for a shell layer including at least one polymerizable monomer, a macroinitiator having polydimethyl siloxane units, and a macromonomer, and toner prepared according to the method. | 12-25-2008 |
20080318151 | Preparation method of latex for toner and preparation method of toner from the same - A method for preparing latex for a toner includes heating a mixture of distilled deionized water and poly (ethylene glycol)-ethyl ether methacrylate (PEG-EEM) with stirring, adding a monomer mixture, 1-dodecanethiol and an ester wax to the mixture, dispersing the mixture with ultrasonic vibration, adding potassium persulfate (KPS) to the dispersion and allowing to react for 4 to 6 hours, and allowing the reaction mixture to cool with stirring. The dry toner prepared by the method enables easy control over the molecular weight of latex, has superior durability and excellent low-temperature fixation, contains a small amount of wastewater and is composed of small-diameter particles, thus being suitable for use in high-definition printers. | 12-25-2008 |
20090053630 | METHOD OF PREPARING TONER AND TONER PREPARED USING THE METHOD - A method of preparing toner, the method including: preparing latex particles for a core which contain wax by polymerizing a toner composition comprising at least one polymerizable monomer and a macromonomer having a hydrophilic group, a hydrophobic group, and at least one reactive functional group; mixing the latex particles for a core with a self-dispersable pigment dispersion and adding an inorganic salt thereto to prepare a primarily agglomerated toner; and coating latex particles for a shell layer on the primarily agglomerated toner. In addition, a toner prepared using the preparation method, a method of forming image using the toner, and an image forming apparatus using the toner. Accordingly, pigments can be uniformly dispersed even without using an emulsifying agent and a dispersant, and thus images that are uniformly transferred can be obtained, and toner with long-term storage and excellent durability can be prepared. | 02-26-2009 |
20090061334 | TONER, METHOD OF PREPARING TONER, METHOD OF FORMING IMAGE USING THE TONER, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS EMPLOYING THE TONER - A toner and a method of preparing the toner, the method including: preparing first latex particles by polymerizing a toner composition including a macromonomer having a hydrophilic group, a hydrophobic group, and at least one reactive functional group; at least one polymerizable monomer; and a wax; preparing a first agglomerated toner by mixing the first latex particles with a pigment dispersion dispersed by the macromonomer and adding an inorganic salt to the mixture; and coating second latex particles which are prepared by polymerizing a composition for the second latex particles including at least one polymerizable monomer and a cross-linkable monomer on the first agglomerated toner, a method of forming an image using the toner, and an image forming apparatus employing the toner. | 03-05-2009 |
