Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080236446Toner processes - A toner process comprising the aggregation and coalescence of an amorphous polyester, a crystalline polyester and a colorant, and wherein the coalescence is conducted at a temperature that is about lower than the melting point temperature of the crystalline polyester.10-02-2008
20090123864Ultra Low Melt Toners Comprised of Crystalline Resins - A toner having an amorphous resin, a crystalline resin, and a colorant, wherein the crystalline resin has a melting temperature of at least 70° C. and a recrystallization point of at least 47° C. exhibits improved document offset properties and improved heat cohesion. Annealing the toner further improves the heat cohesion and morphology of the toner.05-14-2009
20090208864SOLVENT-FREE PHASE INVERSION PROCESS FOR PRODUCING RESIN EMULSIONS - A process for making a resin emulsion suitable for use in forming toner particles includes melt mixing a resin possessing acid groups at a temperature higher than the glass transition temperature of the resin, optionally adding a surfactant before, prior to, during, or after melt mixing the resin, and adding a basic neutralization agent and water to the resin to form an emulsion. In embodiments, the resin emulsion thus produced may be utilized to form a toner.08-20-2009
20090220880GRAFTING FUNCTIONALIZED PEARLESCENT OR METALLIC PIGMENT ONTO POLYESTER POLYMERS FOR SPECIAL EFFECT IMAGES - Pigment particles with at least one metal oxide surface additive, wherein the at least one metal oxide surface additive is a metal oxide particle covalently bonded with at least one polycondensation polymer, wherein the pigment particle is a pearlescent or metallic pigment.09-03-2009
20090220882TONER COMPOSITIONS - Toner particles are provided which may, in embodiments, include a core possessing an amorphous resin and a crystalline resin in combination with a colorant, optional wax, and optional other additives, and a shell over the core including a branched amorphous resin. The branched resin in the shell may prevent the crystalline resin from migrating to the toner surface.09-03-2009
20090305159TONER COMPOSITIONS - Toner particles are provided which may, in embodiments, include a core possessing at least one polyester resin in combination with a colorant, optional wax, and optional other additives, and a shell over the core including a high molecular weight amorphous polyester resin. The high molecular weight amorphous polyester resin in the shell may prevent any crystalline polyester resin in the core from migrating to the toner surface.12-10-2009
20100015544TONER PROCESS - The present disclosure provides toners and processes for preparing toner particles possessing excellent charging characteristics. The process includes forming a dispersion including at least one organic and/or organometallic charge control agent, and then combining that dispersion with an emulsion suitable for use in forming toner particles.01-21-2010
20100055592TONER COMPOSITIONS - Toner particles are provided which may, in embodiments, include a core and a shell formed in situ. The resins utilized to form the core, the shell, or both, may be contacted with a water soluble initiator. The resin, in embodiments present in the shell, cross-links at a temperature near the temperature for coalescence, and may prevent a crystalline resin in the core from migrating to the toner surface.03-04-2010
20100055593TONER COMPOSITIONS - Toner particles are provided which may, in embodiments, include a core and a shell, one or both of which may include a polyester gel. The gel in the shell and/or core may prevent a crystalline resin in the core from migrating to the toner surface.03-04-2010
20100055598TONER COMPOSITIONS - Toner particles are provided which may, in embodiments, include a gel. In embodiments, the toner particles may have a core-shell configuration, with the gel in the core, the shell, or both. The gel may prevent a crystalline resin in the core of the toner particles from migrating to the toner surface.03-04-2010
