Definitions
- the present invention relates to an electrophotographic toner used in an image forming apparatus such as a copying machine, a pudding machine or a facsimile using an electrophotographic technique, and a developing method using the same.
- a dry developer applied to the development of an image forming apparatus using electrophotography is a two-component developer in which a toner and a carrier made of ferrite powder, iron powder, glass beads, etc. are mixed, and a magnetic powder is used in the toner itself. And a non-magnetic one-component developer.
- the toner used in these developers contains a binder resin and a coloring agent as main components.
- a wax for improving low-temperature fixability to a recording sheet and a releasing property of a fixing member, and a polar A charge control agent or the like for giving positive or negative charge is added.
- Toner is manufactured into powder after these materials are mixed according to the specified formulation, and then subjected to processes such as melt-kneading, pulverization, and classification, and finally, to control fluidity, chargeability, cleaning properties, and storage stability. Then, a surface treatment with an external additive such as silica, titanium oxide, alumina, and various resin fine particles is performed, and the resultant is finally provided as a developing agent.
- processes such as melt-kneading, pulverization, and classification, and finally, to control fluidity, chargeability, cleaning properties, and storage stability.
- a surface treatment with an external additive such as silica, titanium oxide, alumina, and various resin fine particles is performed, and the resultant is finally provided as a developing agent.
- the main objectives of the above-mentioned image forming apparatuses have been to increase the number of functions, to increase the speed to spread to the so-called gray area located between the printing machine and the copying machine, and to reduce the size and cost. It is desired to reduce energy consumption (reduce power consumption). Accordingly, simplification of the fixing mechanism typified by the hot roll fixing method and low energy consumption are required, and at the same time, the toner is adapted to the fixing mechanism as described above, and the printing speed is reduced. There is a need for characteristics that are compatible with higher speeds and longer tangling life of the developer.
- toners are required to have both good fixing characteristics due to a small amount of energy and contradictory characteristics such as improvement in stress resistance such as resistance to fusion to a charging blade.
- toners mainly using styrene-acrylic resin as a binder resin have been used.
- a toner made of styrene-acrylic resin can easily improve the fixing characteristics, if the fixing characteristics are required, the strength of the resin itself is reduced, and the toner is easily crushed by friction with a sleeve or the like.
- polyester-based resins are widely used to compensate for this insufficient stress resistance.
- the amount of charge change in a low-temperature and low-humidity environment is large, and the thickness of the toner layer on the sleeve increases as the charge amount increases.
- This causes problems such as excessive amount and generation of capri, and furthermore, in a high-temperature, high-humidity environment, a sufficient amount of charge cannot be obtained and capri is generated, and satisfactory quality is not obtained at present.
- a cycloolefin copolymer resin has been cited as a binder resin for toner which has recently attracted attention, and toners using the same have been proposed (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-101 No. 631, JP-A-2000-2804528).
- a developing method using a one-component developer has been proposed and put to practical use in order to achieve both a compact and simple developing device and electrophotographic characteristics.
- the one-component developer is developed by bringing the one-component developer, which is carried on a non-magnetic sleeve, into contact with the photoconductor holding the electrostatic latent image, thereby converting the one-component developer into an electrostatic latent image.
- a contact-type one-component developing method in which development is performed by transferring the toner, and a certain gap between the non-magnetic sleeve carrying the one-component developer and the photoreceptor holding the electrostatic latent image.
- There is a non-contact type one-component developing method in which a one-component developer is caused to fly (jump) in a non-contact manner with an electrostatic latent image to perform development.
- the one-component developer on the non-magnetic sleeve and the photoreceptor are in contact with each other, so that the developing property is good.
- the one-component developer suffers not only friction when agitated in the developing device but also friction due to contact with the photoreceptor, so that there is a problem that the mechanical burden on the one-component developer increases. .
- the one-component developer is frictionally charged only by the charging blade, so that the mechanical burden on the one-component developer is small.
- the non-contact type there is a gap in the development. Was inferior.
- the toner has a small particle size of several m, it was difficult to obtain good developability.
- Cycloolefin copolymer resin is excellent in stress resistance because of its high breaking strength, and it is easy to achieve long life because it is difficult to generate fine powder and carrier vent when rubbing with carrier in two-component developer.
- the one-component developer has an advantage that when the toner is frictionally charged by pressing the charging blade made of SUS-silicon rubber and the sleeve into pressure, there is an advantage that fusion of fine powder and hardly occurs.
- since it has low hygroscopicity a sufficient charge amount can be obtained even in a high-temperature and high-humidity environment, and no fogging occurs.
- styrene-acrylic acid ester resin ⁇ polyester resin Furthermore, compared to styrene-acrylic acid ester resin ⁇ polyester resin, it has low specific gravity and high volume resistivity, so it has excellent flight performance (developability) and transferability, and is suitable for non-contact development method. .
- the present invention provides an image free of image stains, maintains a proper charge amount, and maintains a flying property even when a toner containing a cycloolefin copolymer resin as a binder resin is applied to a non-contact developing method.
- An object of the present invention is to provide an electrophotographic toner that does not cause a decrease in image density due to a decrease.

Is less than 0.1 mg and 1 g of Z toner, and less than 1.0 mg / g of toner.
- the cycloolefin copolymer resin contained in the toner for electrophotography of the present invention may be a styrene-acrylic acid ester-based copolymer resin or polyester which has been frequently used. Since the breaking strength of the resin is higher than that of the toner resin, the breaking of the toner can be suppressed, thereby not only suppressing the scattering of the toner but also achieving a longer life of the developer. Further, the toner is less affected by temperature and humidity, and the environmental resistance of the toner can be improved. In addition, since the specific gravity of the resin is small and the volume specific resistance is large, the developing property (flying property) and the transferring property (transfer efficiency) of the toner can be improved.
- the present invention provides a concentration of the charge control agent on the toner surface containing the cycloolefin copolymer resin in a range of 0.1 mg or more / g of the toner, and less than 1.0 mg in the range of 1 g of the Z toner. Even if a large number of continuous copies are made using the non-contact developing method, the image density, capri, and photoreceptor force do not decrease.

- the blending ratio of the cycloolefin copolymer resin in the binder resin is preferably set in the range of 50 to 100% by weight, more preferably in the range of 80 to 100% by weight.
- the cycloolefin copolymer resin content is less than 50% by weight, a sufficient image density is maintained under all circumstances in a large number of continuous copies, and black spots (black spots due to filming on the photoreceptor) are obtained.
- cycloolefin copolymer resin examples include polystyrene resin, polyacrylate resin, styrene-acrylate copolymer resin, styrene-methacrylate copolymer resin, and polychlorinated resin.
- the melting onset temperature is preferably somewhat high (for example, 120 to 150 ° C).
- the glass transition point is 65 ° C. Those with a high C or higher are preferred.
- magnétique materials used as needed include metals such as cobalt, iron, and nickel, aluminum, cobalt, copper, iron, nickel, magnesium, tin, zinc, gold, silver, selenium, titanium, tungsten, and zirconium. , Other metal alloys, metal oxides such as aluminum oxide, iron oxide, nickel oxide, ferromagnetic ferrite, magnesite or a mixture thereof.
- Me ⁇ in this case means an oxide such as Mn, Zn, Ni, Ba, Co, Cu, Li, Mg, Cr, Ca, V, and any one of them or Two or more can be used.
- the average particle size of the magnetic material is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0. 0 5-3 m.
- the content of the magnetic material is not particularly limited, but is preferably 10 to 65% by weight based on the magnetic toner when used in a magnetic one-component developing method. If the amount is less than 10% by weight, the charge amount increases, and the image density tends to decrease. If the amount exceeds 65% by weight, the specific resistance of the magnetic toner decreases, and development tends to be difficult.
- the concentration of the charge control agent on the surface of the magnetic toner of the present invention needs to be 0.1 mg or more, less than 1.0 mg / g of toner. If the amount is less than 0.1 mg, the capri and the photoreceptor force become remarkable in a large number of continuous copies.
- the charge controlling agent used in the electrophotographic toner of the present invention may be, for example, a basic dye, an aminopyrine, a pyrimidine compound, a polynuclear polyamino compound, an aminosilane, etc.
- Examples include a treated filler. More specifically, it is preferable to use Blackl, 2, 3, 5, 7, etc. of the color index classification C.I.Solvet (oil-soluble dye).
- Examples of the charge control agent for controlling the negative charge include compounds containing a carboxylic acid group (for example, metal chelates of alkyl salicylates), metal complex dyes, fatty acid stones, and metal salts of naphthenates. Particularly, chromium, iron or Of the complex salt azo dyes containing cobalt, alcohol-soluble dyes are preferably used.

- the surface concentration of the toner As a method of adjusting the surface concentration of the toner to fall within the above range, a method of adjusting the compounding amount of the charge control agent is generally used. However, when the compounding amount is the same, the production of the toner by mixing, mixing, and grinding In producing electrophotographic toner by the method, the surface concentration can be adjusted by adjusting the time and load of the pre-mixing step (pre-mixing) and the melt-mixing step.
- the charge control agent does not receive much shearing force due to mixing, so that it is mixed and mixed into the binder resin in a relatively large mass. For this reason, the charge control agent is present in a relatively large lump state on the surface of the toner produced by pulverization and classification thereafter, and the surface concentration tends to increase.
- the pre-mixing time is long, the charge controlling agent is uniformly dispersed in the resin in a state of being finely pulverized by the shearing force of the mixing. Therefore, the amount of the charge control agent exposed on the surface of the manufactured toner particles, that is, the surface concentration tends to be low. Since the length of the pre-mixing time and the surface density of the toner are substantially proportional to each other, the surface density can be adjusted by adjusting the pre-mixing time. Also, if the load in the melt mixing step is large, the charge control agent becomes finer, is uniformly dispersed in the binder resin, and the amount of the charge control agent exposed on the surface of the toner particles after pulverization is reduced. The finer adjustment of the surface concentration can be performed by combining the adjustment of the amount of the charge control agent and the adjustment of the premixing and the melt mixing.
- the toner contains a toner in order to improve the low-temperature fixing property and the releasability at the time of fixing.
- the wax include polyolefin waxes such as polyethylene wax and polypropylene wax, synthetic waxes such as fish tropx wax, petroleum waxes such as paraffin wax and microcrystalline wax, carnauba wax, candelilla wax, and rice. Wax, hardened castor oil and the like. It is also preferable to use a modified polyethylene wax for the purpose of controlling the fine dispersion of the wax in the cycloolefin copolymer resin. Two or more of these waxes can be used in combination.
- the wax content is preferably in the range of 0.5 to 10.0% by weight in the toner particles, and more preferably in the range of 1.0 to 8.0% by weight. If the amount is less than 0.5% by weight, the contribution to the low-temperature fixing property and the releasing property at the time of fixing is insufficient.
- a plurality of types of waxes can be used as necessary. However, it is preferable that all types of waxes have a melting point of 80 to 160 ° C. indicated by an endothermic peak of DSC. If the temperature is lower than 80 ° C, blocking of the toner particles tends to occur, causing a problem in durability. If the temperature is higher than 160 ° C, the fixing strength decreases.
- the measuring method of the melting point is as follows. A sample is weighed in an amount of 10 mg, placed in an aluminum cell, and placed on a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) (manufactured by Seiko Instruments, Inc., trade name: SSC-5200). 2 Inject gas. Then, the process of raising the temperature between 20 and 180 ° C at a rate of 10 ° C per minute and then rapidly cooling from 180 ° C to 20 ° C is repeated twice, at which time (second time) The endothermic peak temperature is measured.
