Abstract
Abstract Disclosed is a pressure-fixing toner for the electrophotography, which comprises electroscopic particles having an indeterminate shape and comprising as a pressure-fixing binder component a composite binder component comprising a wax component and a resin component composed mainly of a styrene-acrylic copolymer at a weight ratio of from 54/46 to 20/80, wherein the wax component is present in the form of spherical particles having a particle size smaller than 10 microns in a continuous phase of the resin component.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
152 words
A process for the preparation of pressure-fixing toners for the electrophotography, which comprises the step of cooling a solution obtained by hot-dissolving a wax component in an aromatic solvent to precipitate spherical particles of the wax component having a particle size smaller than 10 microns and copolymerizing a styrene type monomer with an acrylic monomer in the system containing the spherical particles of the wax component to form a composite binder comprising the wax component and the resin component composed mainly of the resulting styrene-acrylic copolymer at a weight ratio of from 54/46 to 20/80, in which the wax component is present in the form of spherical particles having a particle size smaller than 10 microns in a continuous phase of the resin component, and the step of kneading the composite binder with a pigment, and cooling and pulverizing the kneaded composite binder and pigment to form particles having an indeterminate shape.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
152 words
A process for the preparation of pressure-fixing toners for the electrophotography, which comprises the step of cooling a solution obtained by hot-dissolving a wax component in an aromatic solvent to precipitate spherical particles of the wax component having a particle size smaller than 10 microns and copolymerizing a styrene type monomer with an acrylic monomer in the system containing the spherical particles of the wax component to form a composite binder comprising the wax component and the resin component composed mainly of the resulting styrene-acrylic copolymer at a weight ratio of from 54/46 to 20/80, in which the wax component is present in the form of spherical particles having a particle size smaller than 10 microns in a continuous phase of the resin component, and the step of kneading the composite binder with a pigment, and cooling and pulverizing the kneaded composite binder and pigment to form particles having an indeterminate shape.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
The process of claim 1 wherein said pigment is selected from the group consisting of coloring pigments, extender pigments, magnetic pigments and mixtures thereof.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
33 words
The process of claim 1 wherein said pigment comprises a coloring pigment selected from the group consisting of black pigments, yellow pigments, orange pigments, red pigments, violet pigments, blue pigments and green pigments.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
11 words
The process of claim 1 wherein said pigment comprises carbon black.
